I meant I would help you to add kFreeBSD/xen support to d-i directly. Step one would be to checkout the necessary bits http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/CheckOut Then you would need to update kfreebsd-kernel-di-{amd64,i386} to build udebs for the necessary kernel flavour. Then you can modify the installer itself to build an image with this new kernel flavour, e.g. compare installer/build/config/i386/netboot.cfg to installer/build/config/i386/netboot-xen.cfg on the Linux side and apply the same ideas to installer/build/config/kfreebsd-i386/netboot.cfg. debian-boot@ is probably the correct forum to continue this discussion if you are interested.
