 In my case, I have all Gentoo VMs on my server. I built a master VM that holds the /usr/portage and I share it with NFS and using a "internal Network" (not using the network card).
 
pretty easy to setup.

There are lots of ways to set up Samba to share files, so I would look
at the fast start docs [1] and pick one that suits your needs. As for
the Xen part, I run all services in guest domains and leave the dom0
alone for the most part.
