Yes, you can.
But since VMware does not support Hardware Nested Virtualization,
you can only run Xen PV domUs in the Xen in the VMware VM.
ie. Xen in the VMware VM does not see and can't use CPU HVM flags (VMX/SVM),
so it's not possible to run Xen HVM guests.
Latest Xen 4.2 (xen-unstable) supports Nested Virtualization.
