VirtualBox (now owned by Sun) is asking for help on their forum. QEMU and its kernel module run on FreeBSD at this moment

and

people in the FreeBSD community raised a bounty (http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/2007cb.html) to have someone port VMware 6 to FreeBSD.

whichever way you look at it it seems that “official” VMWare/EMC will be the last !

according to http://www.novell.com/connectionmagazine the latest version (10.3) of openSUSE now includes VirtualBox & Xen virtualisation platforms

Sun xVM.

xVM is a free, open source virtualization platform, which was unveiled at Oracle Open World, alongside our management platform, xVM Ops Center.

xVM will virtualize Windoz, Linux or Solaris, on either Dell, HP, IBM or Sun hardware.

xVM is based on the work of the Xen community. In a running system, Xen fits between the hardware and the operating system.
