Have you checked into Xen specifically and how it works? I think you're 
where I was at a while ago, and a little investigation will change your 
mind. FWIW Xen is a hypervisor, and platforms need to be able to run in 
it, not the other way around. Have a read up on it anyway.

What you want I think is something like VirtualBox- comparatively 
slower, but about the best for what it is. The only other in the same 
league as VBox is linux-kvm (6:7 between them). But if you don't mind 
not having FreeBSD as host then Xen is definitely rated better. I'm just 
not as sure on stability and such, so I've swung away from it.
