nope, in order to start/stop/reboot/configure your xen guests you have 
to have the host registered with Spacewalk.

the controls and views of the virtual guests are managed from the 
context of a host.  Once you grant the host the "Virtualization" system 
entitlement you get the "Virtualization" tab on the system details 
screen.  From there you can control/configure/provision your guests.
