I'm using an xBox with an NFS root and a FatX file for
swap.
I'm not sure what you'd gain by not using the hard
drive for swap, my swap file is just a 256MB file on
hda50. The swap file doesn't effect the native xBox
functions.
I have heard of people doing network swapping,
however, it seems to not be thought as a good idea.
