Yes, it's possible. I have a few systems booting via rembo that, when
requested, kexec xen + kernel + initrd.

I couldn't make kexec include any arguments to the new kernel, though,
so I appended a new file to the initrd with those (it's a cpio archive).
It could be limited to my hardware or a bug since corrected, but beware
of it.
