Yeah you can use virt-install on CentOS 5 Xen host to install CentOS 6 PV domUs,
I do that often, an example for GUI installation:

virt-install -d -n vmname -r 1024 --vcpus=2 -f /dev/vg01/vmname_disk0 -b virbr0 --vnc -p -l "http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/centos.org/6.5/os/x86_64";

(you need to have virt-viewer installed, that'll be used to display the VNC GUI console).
