You can use Christoph Egger's OpenBSD/Xen port. No need to go
HVM-only. Unfortunately, my own website is down right now and I
haven't gotten around to fixing that, but the Wayback Machine has the
relevant page:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070403174105/http://ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen/

Also, search the misc archives. This question crops up fairly
regularly. and each time most people don't seem to know of Christoph
Egger's port (and each time I then try to tell people about it again
-- if I catch the message, but I don't always do and sometimes things
fall through the cracks here).

Thanks and regards,
