Boot your FreeBSD 5.3 partition.

If you don't already have bash and wget installed, install them:

pkg_add -r wget
pkg_add -r bash2

download and uncompres the xen 2.0.7 or 2.0-testing source.

In the freebsd sparse directory there are a number of scripts
edit mkbuildtree and replace the first line with

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

then

cd..
./freebsd-5.3-xen-sparse/fbsdxensetup

Script should download source and combine with files from sparse directory.
There will be a find file not found error.

Ignore the find error it isn't important.

cd freebsd-5.3-xenU
mkdir i386-xen/compile

./xenfbsd_kernel_build

At this point a kernel build should happen. When complete you will find the 
'kernel' in ./i386-xen/compile/XENCONF/
