  If you check your preferred rawhide mirror, in my case 
  http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/

you will find:
  kernel-xen-guest-2.6.14-1.21_FC5.i686.rpm
  kernel-xen-guest-devel-2.6.14-1.21_FC5.i686.rpm
  kernel-xen-hypervisor-2.6.14-1.21_FC5.i686.rpm
  kernel-xen-hypervisor-devel-2.6.14-1.21_FC5.i686.rpm  
 and
  xen-3.0-0.20051206.fc5.1.i386.rpm

it's a bit bleeding edge, we don't have public instruction yet on how to
set up your system, but if you want to fool around with it, you can get
an early taste of a xenified version of the normal rawhide kernel.
However the network in the guest doesn't work for me yet, so don't
try this if you're expecting something which Just Work :-)
