Uhhh, the answer is probably "Mostly no" ;-)
I've recently seen some support committed to Xen to allow you to pass a
graphics adaptor to a domU, which is a step in the right direction for what
you're trying to achieve. I don't believe it has support for run time
switching which domain has access to the graphics card, though, which you
would also seem to require.
Also, MacOS X isn't going to boot under Xen without some hacking, I think,
since Xen's HVM mode emulates a conventional PC without EFI, etc. You could
possibly make a hacked version of OS X work. I think somebody might have got
OS X running in a Xen domain but I imagine the graphical performance of the
virtualised framebuffer would detract from the "Mac experience" somewhat :-(
Cheers,
Mark
