I ended up doing this out of frustration because I just wanted to get docker 
running:

name = "docker"

memory = 2048
vcpus = 1

# Boot normally using pygrub (pvgrub)
#
# Note: debian is supposed to support Xen, but pygrub can't find its
# grub config. The bootloader_args and extra config here effectively
# overrides grub. It works, but annoys me that it isn't automatic.

bootloader = "/usr/pkg/bin/pygrub"
bootloader_args = [
        '--kernel=/vmlinuz',
        '--ramdisk=/initrd.img'
]

extra = "root=/dev/xvda1"

# bridge0 internal, bridge1 external
vif = [
        'mac=00:16:3E:00:07:09, bridge=bridge0',
        'mac=00:16:3E:00:08:09, bridge=bridge1'
]

disk = [
        'phy:/dev/vm/docker,hda,w',
]

Perhaps it will be of use to you.
