"Today, we're making the first source code of our OpenSolaris on Xen project available to the OpenSolaris developer community. There are many bugs still in waiting, many puzzles to be solved, many things left to do. Because we don't believe the developer community only wants finished projects to test. We believe that some developers want to participate during the development process, and now this project can open its doors to that kind of participation. We wanted to start the conversation with working code. So we have a snapshot of our development tree for OpenSolaris on Xen, synced up with Nevada build 31. That code snapshot should be able to boot and run on all the hardware that build 31 can today, plus it can boot as a diskless unprivileged domain on Xen 3.0."

The reason for wanting MacOS X Intel as dom0 is because Apple has stated that they will not support running of MacOS X on anything but Apple hardware. I believe they will do quite a lot to enforce this - sure people will hack around it but thats not my interest. Getting Darwin/Xen up is one thing but it is quite a step away from having MacOS X up. For one thing Darwin still depends on PC BIOS but MacOS X Intel boots from EFI (without PC BIOS legacy support).
