3) Use Xen Binaries from XenSource, which provide a selection.

4) Use another distribution as dom0 - SuSE and Debian let you chose if
you want PAE or not.
This is for sure only a solution when you don't need PAE :)

Best solution would be really if the NetBSD team could upload two
versions of their kernels, so everybody can use them...

I also had this problem, but I remember in one of the logfiles there
was actually an error message telling something useful like "non-PAE
kernel on PAE host" something like that.
