That one is a Xen2 kernel.  netbsd-3-0 (for releases 3.0.x) doesn't
contain Xen3 support.  netbsd-3 (for releases 3.1+) does contain Xen3
support.

Well, I think the easiest way would be to fetch the netbsd-3 sources
using your preferred method (e.g., anoncvs with cvs -d
anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot co -P -rnetbsd-3 src) and then
compile the XEN3_DOMU kernel with (from the top of the sources tree):

./build.sh tools kernel=XEN3_DOMU

Note that you don't need a NetBSD installation to do that.  build.sh
will work just fine on FreeBSD, Linux or Solaris.
