The wiki page says:
The Domain Tools cannot be cross built and must be built

I was curious why this is?
I've just got Xen booting a Dom0 Linux on the 970 Simulator
and am wondering if I really need to build the tools on
PPC. I don't have a real PPC machine handy (but will
track one down if necessary).
Hi Stuart, IIRC the problem is the Makefiles for the python code made
some assumptions about the host. I don't remember the exact issue now,
but if you want to give it a try and see how it goes I'd love to hear
about it.
A lot of that has been fixed. The main problem as I see it is
installing all the packages necessary into the cross environment, see
the list in:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPPC/Run/XM
The good news is that all the management tools are 32 bit so any
Linux PPC machine will do, there are some places that can give you
open access to a box:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/openpower/
or maybe a 32bit emulator with a distro already setup for it like:
