So, may I able to able to install this xen binary on red hat 4.0?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as RHEL 4.1. There is RHEL 4 which is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, and then there are quarterly updates to this. Maybe the site means RHEL 4 Update 1?

If that is the case, then you may find that ONLY update 1 works, as Red Hat patch the kernel from time to time and the Xen kernel patches may not apply anymore if building from source. If it's a binary install, then I guess Xensource are providing the kernel, but then the question becomes 'what about security updates?'
