Yes, I've gotten it to work successfully. Mine looks like this:
/usr/sbin/virt-install -n vm02 -r 256 -l 
http://myserver/centos/5/os/x86_64 --nographics -f 
/srv/xen/images/vm02 -x 
"ks=nfs:myserver:/srv/kickstart/ks64vm02.cfg"
Do you need to specify the IP in the ks parameters? I think 
it should be able to just use whatever the xen host uses. 
And then you can manually set an IP within the ks.cfg file 
itself.
