XenProject.org is an open source project producing a hypervisor, similar to
how kernel.org produces the Linux kernel.

XenServer.org is like a distro which consumes Xen to produce an end
product, in much the same way as distros consume Linux, glibc etc.

Your xl cfg will reference a disk image of some sort, there is generally no
need to "export" anything, you can just use dd to read a blk dev into a
file or qemu-img to convert between various image formats etc.

I expect you will find more knowledgeable people about an xl->XenServer
migration on the XenServer (i.e. incoming) side of things, including
existing tooling to help do this, over at www.xenserver.org.

HTH,
