I think so too. I have set up an Athlon XP2200+ with 512 MB Ram to host
8 XEN-Instances. Each was running a Heimdal-Server. They were running
happily.

What I did not achieve was to assign physical memory dynamically to a
partition. It is said to be possible, but I had no time left to test it.

One really big advantage of XEN is the virtual networking device. Each
instance has its own IP-Number assigned. In the partition 0 there
appears a point-2-point-interface which can be added to a virtual switch
(aka bridge).

AFS-Fileservers and AFS-Clients should run. But of course each
XEN-Instance needs its own /vicepX or AFS-Cache-Partition.
