My first reaction to this is to think you're probably asking the wrong
question.  If you need to use -print0 then you're anticipating that the
file names contain "dangerous" characters, but "ls" will already have
processed the file names, so now you're concerned with what the output
of "ls" looks like, which may have replaced some of those characters
with "?" ... sounds like a recipe for problems.

If using xargs -d $'\n' as Moritz suggested will not work, I suggest
you try using the -ls option of "find".  It can be combined with -print0
which may give you what you need.

    find foo ... -print0 -ls | xargs -0 ...
