Well initially I don't know how you'd use the domU kernel inside an actual domain so I don't see why you'd throw it in sysinstall just for now. Just leave it on the snapshot CD so people like me can manually create basic VM images (which is easy under FreeBSD - install kernel and base tardist in a new filesystem using "install.sh"; boot it) and it should lower the barrier for bootstrapping a DomU VM.
