Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://packages.debianbase.de/etch/i386/xen3.1 ./
deb-src http://packages.debianbase.de/sources/xen3.1 ./

Afterwards you can install xen 3.1 packages, but please be aware that this is 
an inofficial package repository. It's based on and quite close to debian's 
pkg-xen svn repository, but not an official snapshot. 

The best way to install xen-3.1 is to remove all xen-3.0 packages and 
afterwards install the new ones. Installing xen-3.0 userspace and xen-3.1 
hypervisor might lead to serious problems.

An official xen3.1 debian package for etch will never exist, because debian 
only applies (more or less) just security fixes to already released versions 
like etch.

 Ralph
