I do not believe you can run an XConsole directly.  When we have needed
an XConsole, we have installed VNCServer on the domU and accessed
graphical applications that way.  However, I would assume you can find a
way to run a terminal based installation or, better yet, drop down a
preconfigured file system and simply edit the pertinent files (since the
device drivers are all virtualized).  Hope this helps - John

PS - I am also pretty new so someone else may have much better ideas :-)
