i would boot both, the old ESX and the new Xen VM with a Live-CD and let both 
connect to the network. So the command from the old ESX VM would be as root:
  # dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -c | ssh $DOMUIP "gunzip -c | dd of=/dev/sda"
Or just to make an image file:
  # dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -c > /tmp/sda.img.gz
Instead of using the whole disk (sda) you can use a partition (e.g. sda1) but 
on the target you have to fdisk first.
