Yes, about 1 year ago I successfully booted VMS within Xen.
But as VMS requires a HP-like machine, it can't be booted on the standard HVM
domains.  So to boot VMS I had to add a new kind of domains which are much
more flexible.  I don't know if this code is still working.

For the details, read the archives ;-)
