Whether or not you have a graphics card isn't really related to
whether or not you can run an X server. The X server's job is to
provide a display for X clients -- that display does not have to be
realized in hardware. You could run Xvfb; There are even X
clients that will re-export the display via VNC or RDP.

If you are starting an X server in each domU, then they are each a
display :0.

I don't want to dissuade you from using Xen, but VMWare server is
free.
