Are you using bridging?
If so, I think I know this!
look for shell function 'op_start' in file /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge

Maybe it is as simple as replacing /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge
with a wrapper that invokes the original /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge
twice, each time with different values for environment variables
vifnum, bridge, and netdev. Those environment variables are documented
at the top of /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge.
