Hi

you can build one with at least the 2.06 stable sources.

Just Append "linux-2.4-xenU" to "KERNELS ?=" in the Makefile of XEN and run 
make kernels or 
make install

The Kernel sources will automatically be downloaded. You can configure your 
Kernel in the directory linux-2.4.* with 

make ARCH=xen menuconfig

and do another 

make install
