Depends on what you want to do.

If logging traffic in/out of the real interfaces by IP address is 
enough, then that's reasonably easy to do - though it won't log 
traffic between Dom0 and DomU or between DomU's on the same box. 
Doing it strictly by virtual interface will be a bit more work as the 
list of interfaces will keep changing.
I covered how I do traffic accounting at my border routing in a 
thread titled "Limiting domU network?" on 2nd May. The same approach 
should work on the real interface(s) of a Dom0 - provided "by IP 
address" is accurate enough.
