Yes and tftp version 0.43 from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/ works too. I was using a
much older one before so everything should be OK as long as people use a
recent version. I've put it in the README.
I've attached a fresh patch that addresses this and the other issues you
raised, Tim.
Incidentally, what do you do if the guest vif is not going to be on the
same bridge that dom0 eth0 is on? In practice this likely matters more
for the dhcp request than the tftp transfer.
Could you explain what the problem would be? Do you mean that the DHCP
server might not be set up to serve requests from the dom0's subnet? To be
honest I hadn't thought that much about more complex setups -- as it is
there are embedded assumptions about the way pxelinux is set up.

+pypxeboot is a bootloader for xen that simulates PXE behaviour. It runs on
+Domain 0 as part of the domain creation process and downloads boot information
+from a previously-configured PXELinux server using TFTP.
+
+pypxeboot requires the following external programs:
+
+1) A patched version of udhcp 0.9.8 (http://udhcp.busybox.net/) that supports
+a user-specified MAC address. The patch is udhcp_usermac.patch, available
+in this distribution. There is also a script needed to output information
+received from the DHCP server. This is called outputpy.udhcp.sh and
+should be installed at /usr/share/udhcpc/
+
+2) The tftp client program (source and RPMs available at
+http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/). N.B. pypxeboot
+has been tested with version 0.43 of tftp.
+
+To use pypxeboot, add the following lines to your Xen domain configuration
+file:
+
+bootloader="/usr/bin/pypxeboot"
+bootargs=vif[0]
+
+If the pxelinux.cfg entry is set to localboot you should see output like this:
+
+[root@tg23 pypxeboot]# xm create cagnode50-slc308
+Using config file "/etc/xen/cagnode50-slc308".
+pypxeboot: requesting info for MAC address AA:00:86:e2:35:72
+pypxeboot: getting cfg for IP 134.226.53.114 (86E23572) from server
192.168.12.1
+pypxeboot: dropping to pygrub for local boot
+Going to boot Scientific Linux CERN Xen DomU-xenU (2.4.21-47.0.1.EL.cernxenU)
+ kernel: /vmlinuz-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL.cernxenU
+ initrd: /initrd-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL.cernxenU.img
+
+and something like this if the pxelinux.cfg entry specifies a network boot:
+
+[root@tg23 pypxeboot]# xm create cagnode50-slc308
+Using config file "/etc/xen/cagnode50-slc308".
+pypxeboot: requesting info for MAC address AA:00:86:e2:35:72
+pypxeboot: getting cfg for IP 134.226.53.114 (86E23572) from server
192.168.12.1
+pypxeboot: downloading initrd using cmd: tftp -c get
192.168.12.1:slc308_i386_xen/initrd.img
+pypxeboot: downloading kernel using cmd: tftp -c get
192.168.12.1:slc308_i386_xen/vmlinuz
+Started domain cagnode50
+
+The kernel and initrd on the tftp server need to be XenLinux images.
