A FreeBSD stable/8 XENHVM kernel from yesterday functions properly for me in my Xen environment.

Did you remove the CDROM from the device configuration for your domain?   My host systems do not have CDROM devices to pass through, so I have not tested the impact of detecting a CDROM device on the FreeBSD XENHVM device probe process. 

In short, I understand that you are not directly complaining a about CDROM functionality, but my hunch is that the detection of a CDROM device is exposing a bug in the block front driver which leads to a hang during boot.
