I just did this yesterday with a couple iMacs.
Do as you were planning...use WinClone to create the XP image of the partition (I just saved it on my OSX hard drive...so it would be easy to CCC over to the new drive and/or machine).
After you clone your OSX install to the new drive...you will have to re-run the BootCamp setup for it to partition you new drive. BootCamp then prompts you to create the drivers CD or to set up an OS...just ignore these; however, there is no cancle button, I believe. Just force quit BootCamp, and your 'untitled' partition will still be there.
Then run WinClone...use the Restore function, and select your XP image. It doesn't take long to restore...much faster process than creating it in the first place.
