The latest state of the forward port is publically available as a mercurial 
tree - see this mail for more info

  http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-02/msg00119.html

NB the trees are full Linux kernel trees - not merely the Xen sparse bits.

You can also get the more tested releases from download.fedora.redhat.com
in src.rpm format.

Dan.
