The xen overlay is almost a forgotten memory.  When the dev organise to it will likely be deleted.  A current gentoo-sources kernel is xen dom0 capable.  If you don't know about the changes, just search xensource documents on google or such.  The xen kernels are prone to being dropped too.

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Mainline_Linux_Kernel_Configs

That page will give you the necessary kernel configuration options to build a new pvops Xen dom0 kernel from the mainline sources (Either gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources)
