I am building a server where i plan on using XenServer for my virtualization.
I am canceling my current VPS plan, which features a static IP...

What I'm wondering is how it is possible to assign a unique static IP to each virtual machine?
I am going to be upgrading my internet to comcast business class which gives me a static IP for my server... but that is only one and I don't see how you can have a static IP for each VM without having a separate internet connection for each.

You will want to put a router in place. The router will have the Static IP which will be known as your Public IP address. You would then use DHCP and Static IPs internally to create a Private network. Examples being 10.x.x.x and 172.x.x.x IP addresses.

You want to create a private network on your end and all that data will go out through your Public IP address.
