The key is to invoke grub's multiboot loader and then pass it xen, a 
kernel, and an initrd.  Here's what worked for me.

/tftpboot/pxeboot.cfg/default

LABEL xen
   MENU LABEL fc6-xen 2.6.20-1.2948xen
   KERNEL mboot.c32
   APPEND /images/xen.gz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 dom0_mem=262144 --- 
/images/vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen ro root=/dev/vg0/root rhgb quiet 
--- /images/initrd-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen.img

NB that the 3 hyphens are required between the APPEND sections and that 
they are all on one line.


As a side note:

There is an easy to follow set of instructions for setting up a pxeboot 
environment at
