It's not exactly the same, but I have done physical-to-paravirt
migrations on CentOS 5.2 with little effort.  It's probably easiest if
you install kernel-xen packages before you migrate:

1) yum install kernel-xen
2) shutdown
3) copy disk images to dom0
4) create domU config
5) start domU

Afterwards you can use either pygrub or kernel/ramdisk, whichever you
prefer.
