Obvious things first:
does your xen0 kernel have the network drivers for eepro1000, as module or 
statically?

do they show up in "ifconfig -a", "lsmod", "lspci"?

also, you'll most likely need to set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING to "lo" or "no" 
in /etc/conf.d/rc, otherwise /etc/init.d/xend start might deadlock.
