Not really, but I've found the best bet is to go ahead and install
the other distro in its own partitions, set it up to run Xen as a Dom0
system, make sure that all works, then fiddle with the grub config to
boot the xen kernel you were running as Dom0 directly, not as a module
under the hypervisor, and fiddle the "real" fedora dom0 to have a
config that uses pygrub as a boot loader and maps the virtual disks
to the same devices as the physical partitions were when you installed
it. Here's my web page with the story of my various struggles with xen:
