No. Xen work is highly experimental even in -CURRENT.

It *can* be used, and people have successfully booted FreeBSD under Xen
but I don't think anyone is using it in production. If you're interested
in FreeBSD-Xen, you can follow this mailing list:

It's likely that Xen will be good enough to be used in FreeBSD 8.
