Yes, there is. Once you've booted the Xen domaiin, you can add hte block 
device or ISO or other file system image to the list of block devices of 
the guest domain with the "xm" command, and then log into the Xen guest 
and mount it there. I recommend this only for read-only block devices, 
to avoid becoming confused about what is writing to the partition and 
how too manage it.
