Xen hypervisor and tools can be built separately from the dom0 kernel.

You could just grab the latest xen-3.4-testing.hg and do:

make xen
make tools
make stubdom

Now the compiled xen+tools+stubdom is in dist/ directory.

make install-xen
make install-tools
make install-stubdom

After that you could grab whatever dom0 kernel, compile and install it.

latest 2.6.18-xen.hg:
hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg

Or instructions for 2.6.31 / 2.6.32 pv_ops dom0 here:

The default hg tree should work.
