Description 
nxge is currently under /platform/i86pc, which means xVM systems are excluded (/platform/i86xpv). This driver should be moved to a generic location and fully tested under xVM.
Work Around 
Possible workaround:
Copy all nxge driver files (nxge.conf, nxge, amd64/nxge) from /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv to /platform/i86xpv/kernel/drv.

After that nxge interfaces are usable under xVM (though I did not verify, if all features are working correctly):
bash-3.2# uname -i
i86xpv
bash-3.2# ifconfig nxge0
nxge0: flags=201000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 9
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
