Xenix collector here, I would say they had (sort-of) MS-DOS binary compatibility, as you could run some DOS programs on Xenix 386. I think it's only limited to real mode programs, but I tried it a couple of years ago and it worked.
Not to mention that on Xenix you could develop for both platforms (well, more than that: with the right setup you could target DOS, Xenix 8086, Xenix 286 or Xenix 386), that's quite an advantage.
On a side note, a good collection of Xenix manuals can be found at http://www.tenox.net/docs/ http://www.tenox.net/docs/.
