Depends.

If domU is running paravirtualisation, I don't think it is possible to run another layer of paravirtualisation. However it might be possible if the first layer is full virtualisation.

I think it is possible to run Xen -> Qemu -> Xen even with the first domU running in paravirtualisation, as Qemu emulates a full virtual machine in userland, which might let you run another Xen dom0 underneath. Of course the performance would suck.

I think it makes more sense to run a combination of full/para-virtualisation + OS-level virtualisation. For example, running an OpenVZ kernel on your Xen domU.
