This article is intended mainly for developers who are new to Xen and who want to know more about it. The Xen VMM (virtual machine monitor) is an open-source project that is being developed in the computer laboratory of the University of Cambridge, UK. It enables us to create many virtual machines, each of which runs an instance of an operating system. These guest operating systems can be a patched Linux kernel, version 2.4 or 2.6, or a patched NetBSD/FreeBSD kernel.

Yup. A port of the Darwin kernel could be made to run on Xen, or you could run Mac OS in fully virtualised mode. The caveat is that you'll need to satisfy the legal requirements (and any hardware tricks Apple employ) in order to bring up Mac OS X on your hardware.
