Not now, no.

However, general documentation on IP masquerading (non-Xen-specific) is
widely available.

All you need to do is disconnect your outside ethernet device from the
bridge (say, by making a modified version
of /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge which gets rid of everything in
op_start() except the create_bridge call, and in op_stop does nothing
but remove and clear the bridge, and pointing the network-script setting
in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp at this new script), and then look for one
of the many many many publicly available documents on general-purpose IP
masquerading to determine how to set up masquerading between the bridge
(actually the veth0 device, which should have its other side, vif0.0,
connected to the bridge) and the outside world.
