I cannot speak for the developers but at BSDCan it was stated that dom0 would be a large chunk of job that deserves funding.

VIMAGE and jails are OS-level virtualization, orthogonal to Xen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtualization > =C2=A0. is it envisaged that a stable NetBSD dom0 implementation > =C2=A0 would then be ported to FreeBSD (maybe) ? Probably not - the systems are too different now.
