Is that a quad-core CPU or a quad-CPU system?

If it's a quad-core CPU, it should support Intel hardware virtualisation 
feature.  If it does, you don't need any Xen patches or support in 
FreeBSD.  Just create a Xen VM that supports hardware virtualisation (not 
a paravirtualised VM) and install FreeBSD as per normal.  That's the 
beauty of the Intel VT and AMD VX (or whatever they call it now) 
features -- no need to patch an OS to run in a Xen VM.
