I'm one of the maintainers of the Xen ebuilds, so hopefully I can
provide some assistance. However, I don't have access to any systems
with hardware virtualization, so my experience is limited to
paravirtualization and compile-time issues.

The Xen name is HVM, not VMX, which may explain some of the trouble
you're having locating the files.
aross@oak ~/gentoo-x86 $ equery files xen-tools | fgrep hvm
/etc/xen/xmexample.hvm
/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader

That information is out-of-date, as app-emulation/xen-tools-3.0.2-r3
supports the sdl and vnc USE flags.
