Not really, no:
[xen@zhaman ~]$ sudo xenstore-ls -f| grep console| grep "\-1"

Well, as a mater of fact, I _do_
see /local/domain/0/backend/console/<vm-id> stuff:
[xen@zhaman ~]$ sudo xenstore-ls -f| grep console
/local/domain/0/console = ""
/local/domain/0/console/limit = "1048576"
/local/domain/0/console/type = "xenconsoled"
/local/domain/0/backend/console = ""
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1 = ""
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0 = ""
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0/frontend = "/local/domain/1/console"
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0/frontend-id = "1"
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0/online = "1"
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0/state = "1"
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0/domain = "f18"
/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0/protocol = "vt100"
/local/domain/1/console = ""
/local/domain/1/console/backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/console/1/0"
/local/domain/1/console/backend-id = "0"
/local/domain/1/console/limit = "1048576"
/local/domain/1/console/type = "xenconsoled"
/local/domain/1/console/output = "pty"
/local/domain/1/console/port = "2"
/local/domain/1/console/ring-ref = "1198695"
/local/domain/1/console/tty = "/dev/pts/2"
/local/domain/1/console/vnc-port = "5900"
/local/domain/1/console/vnc-listen = "127.0.0.1"
