if your domU's are short-lived (reboot frequently), the easiest is to use a 
shared read-only partition.  useful both for modules and most of the core 
installation.  if you have to keep the domU's running for long periods, or if 
shutting down all domU's is out of the question, then NFS should do the trick 
(until the arrival of XenFS)
