I know this thread has been dormant for quite some time, but I want to see if
anyone has any ideas how how we could do cloud hosting using FreeBSD
as the host system.
A better way to put it is a FreeBSD Based Amazon EC2.

basically a bunch of FreeBSD servers, that are in a cluster, and could
host a bunch of
Xen Domu's . I am aware that FreeBSD does not yet have Xen dom0 support.

but are there any other competing projects to xen that I am unaware of.
