I have 2 nics, and it works for me by a small change to /etc/init.d/xend:

I simply include an additional call to /etc/xen/scripts/network before xend
start and after xend stop to set up the second interface. 

Hope this helps.

        /etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br1 netdev=eth1

        # do not advertise unreasonable commands that there is no reason
        # to use with this device
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
        exit 1
esac

exit $?
