xen.org's 2.6.18 kernel -> build from src,
http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html

RHEL/Centos kernel rpm ->  quite tricky, admittedly :D
I suppose you could try something like this

wget -c 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.4/centosplus/x86_64/RPMS/kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm
mkdir tmp-root
cd tmp-root
rpm2cpio ../kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
cp -a ./boot/* /boot
cp -a ./lib/modules/* /lib/modules

that is, extract the contents of kernel-xen rpm, and take only what's
in /boot and /lib/modules. After this you need to build initrd. The
command should be mkinitrd (haven't done this for a long time in
opensuse, so I forgot the exact syntax). Then you need to edit to add
the kernel and initrd entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
