No, the correct set of options are:

   -xen-bare         no xend on this system, qemu should create a Xen domain
                     without this, Xen machine types use emulated
                     Xen functionality

   -xen-domid <nr>   has slightly different meanings in the various use cases

And if you really think you must have the same executable for the xend
case:

   -xen-attach       used by xend; qemu is to support a Xen HVM domain
                     not to be used from the command line
