why don't you use the officially released stuff or the rpms?
I have followed this http://www.ruslansivak.com/index.cfm/Xen to install xen-dom0
Those are not the officially released CentOS rpms. Hopefully, someone responds to your comment there.
Otherwise, if you do not need Xen 3.2, just "yum groupinstall Virtualization".

There are also RPMs I've looked at but not yet tried hosted here: http://www.gitco.de/repo/ Has anyone else here given them a try?
I did. My scenario was the following - host: C5.2/x86_64, fully updated. Needed to run Win XP/32 as VM, with full access to the parallel port given to a very special Windows driver (which controls a development board) - in the guest we have to run a commercial tool based on Eclipse (Java).
With stock xen, I was unable to transfer control of the parallel port to the guest. It simply did not see the port, no matter what I have tried With xen-3.3 from gitco and the same xen config, the port was correctly identified and could be used from Windows. On the other hand, Java started to consume 99% of the CPU making the VM impossible to use.
