As far as I'm aware, the XenExpress (i.e. "free" version of
XenEnterprise) has PV Windows drivers included, and from what I
understand, as long as you have a close-enough [don't ask me to define
close-enough!] version of Xen to the version that XenExpress is built on
top of, you should (from a technical standpoint - see below) be able to
use the drivers. 

I believe Novell has some drivers too. 

I haven't used either version of drivers.

I'm not sure exactly what the license says, but XenExpress would have a
license agreement, which I believe is limited on the number of guests
per machine. I'm not entirely sure what that gives if you're not
actually using anything but the drivers supplied within XenExpress
[there was a discussion before on how to actually get those drivers into
a Windows installed some time back - try a search on XenExpress, Windows
PV drivers or some such, and you shouldn't be far off].
