You can already do that very simply in python using lxml
from lxml import etree
tree = etree.parse(domain.XMLDesc())
r = tree.xpath('/domain/devices/graphics[@type='vnc']/@port')
Hmmm, cant seem to get that to work:
libvirt_server_util.py", line 159, in detect_session_vncdisplay
tree = etree.parse(domain.XMLDesc(0))
