You can use X in dom0 as a server for the domUs.

Just setup X servers with XDMCP in dom0 on the virtual consoles
of your choice. You can have them pinned down to certain domUs
or have the XDMCP client broadcast/multicast for the active
domUs to service.

You could even have particular domUs bring up SDL on a particular
X display in recent Xen implementations through a config option
(is it display?).
