Disclaimer: I have never actually tried this, but I don't see any reasons  
why it wouldn't work.

As far as I'm aware, Xen (at least in Debian, check the xend-config.sxp &  
the network scripts it uses, most likely network-bridge & vif-bridge) adds  
the approriate iptables entrys to allow traffic to pass from the domains  
if you are operating purely on Xen config (if your iptables' FORWARD  
policy is otherwise secure. Tho, generally it isn't). vif-bridge script  
adds two rules to IPTables when new vif interface is brought up:
-A FORWARD -s $IPOFDOMU/32 -m physdev --physdev-in $DOMUVIF -j ACCEPT  
#like IPOFDOMU=52.35.123.250 and DOMUVIF=vif6.0
-A FORWARD -p udp -m physdev --physdev-in $DOMUVIF -m udp --sport 68  
--dport 67 -j ACCEPT #For DHCP traffic. Of course in your case this should  
be removed (or simply add rule top of the forward chain that blocks port  
67 and 68 traffic).
Bassicly what you first need to do is create a ruleset to FORWARD chain  
that permits anything from external interface and let Linux decide what to  
do with it. You could, of course, also check that they are destined to  
legitime IP addresses. After that is working, when domain is created, it  
should add the approriate rules automaticly. The last rule (or policy)  
should be DROP.
Xen doesn't handle adding IPs to the guest OS, so that is manual work on  
the guest OS (of course, there is many ways to automate that (like  
installing puppet agent on the guest domains and making Dom0 as  
puppetmaster)).
