Kip Macy has done good work on the Xen port for FreeBSD, and Xen does mostly the same things as this 'kvm'. (I am not saavy to the licensing issues, but NetBSD has Xen support, and the XenSource people seem both reasonable and accessible, so it seems like any licensing issues could be resolved.) http://perforce.freebsd.org/changeList.cgi?CMD=changes&FSPC=//depot/projects/xen3/... I've got it compiling unprivlidged (XenU) kernels with a -current from a couple months back, and it works with a Xen 3.0.2 Xen host running linux just fine. (from what I understand, the Xen0 stuff doesn't work yet) I have XenUs running right now from this; I don't think I would call them 'production' yet, but they mostly work. there were some changes between 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 that broke it, though. I'm going to bang on it this weekend, but it's likely that I'm not good enough to figure out that problem by myself. I do have good test systems and access to all the relevant code, and I'm happy to do the 'bang on it until it compiles' type work, if someone smarter wants to help with the 3.0.2-3.0.3 issues.
