The question is (almost) meaningless - Xen just doesn't work like
that.  The host system *is* Xen -- it's more like vmware esx than
vmware workstation.

The closest it comes to having a full OS as a "host" is that there are
some guests (by default, the one running in domain0) that are
privileged and can run some userspace admin tools (to create and start
new domains, set and monitor resource usage, etc).

I don't know much about it, but I imagine there'd be no particular
problem building these tools on NetBSD.  Do they need any special
support from the guest os in domain0, such as special syscalls to pass
through to Xen?
