Why get complicated and not use KVM? Xen's future @ RedHat is not that
bright.
My 2 pence.

yum groupinstall Virtualization
Or you could just put in an XCP install disk and take a nap. You'd have the very stable RHEL 5.5 base for Dom0, Xen 3.4.2 and a kernel roughly equivalent to what you get in RHEL6.
For the record RHEL6 guests run on Xen as will any future Linux Distros.
