Yes, you can use virt-manager to do this.

dom0 takes the memory it can use, but if you create a domU, Xen will
use "ballooning" to reduce the amount of memory allocated to dom0. You
can set the minimum of dom0 memory in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp by
tweaking the dom0-min-mem option.
Be aware that the hypervisor also takes a chunk of memory, so you may
want to add more memory to get a useful setup.
Take care,
Daniel
