Works (keep in mind I'm running -current! You mention you're on
-stable), here's my config:

# cat test.conf

kernel = "/usr/pkg/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory=256
name="fbsd-i386hvm"

disk =  [
    'file:/usr/test.img,hda,w',

'file:/usr/pkg/etc/xen/iso/FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
    ]

boot="d"

vnc = 1
sdl = 0

vncconsole=0
vncdisplay=0

cpus="2"
vcpus=1
keymap="pt"

acpi=1
apic=1
device_model='qemu-dm'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'




# xm create test.conf
