Not completly.

When you compile your Xen PCI backend, you should see an option
whether you want Virtual PCI, Passthrough or some other type. By default
it will pick the Virtual one so that it just enumerates from
zero the PCI devices. You could write your own plugin that would
do remaping per your desire.
