It's probably safe to say "Not easily" at this point in time... (or not at 
all, depending on your hardware).

Some changesets did go into the unstable tree to allow the primary graphics 
device to be passed through to an HVM guest but only on systems with Intel 
VT-d capable hardware (that's Intel's IOMMU, etc).  If you have that hardware 
available you may (with some tinkering and hacking) be able to achieve what 
you want, otherwise it's not possible, sorry.

Cheers,
Mark
