This is indeed the case for Xen -- if you want a 64-bit guest, you
have to have a 64-bit host. 64-bit hosts can run 32-bit guests,
though. This applies to kvm, too.
qemu will run 64-bit guests on 32-bit systems, but only in
emulation (read: very, very slow). qemu+kqemu will not run 64-bit
guests at all, due to a bug in kqemu.
I recommend using kvm, as it's far easier to set up and administer
than Xen. Just make sure that you get the right hardware -- check the
"AMD-V" or "Intel-VT" capabilities on the relevant processor lists on
Wikipedia.
