it seems that it is actually possible to configure bridge over nfsroot,
but one needs to re-arrange lines slightl. As it is below it works for me

/sbin/brctl addbr xen-br0
/sbin/ifconfig xen-br0 $HOSTNAME netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/brctl addif xen-br0 eth0
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
