I think virtualbox does need to be ported, however, John makes a very 
strong point that vmware is becoming practically the de-facto standard 
for virtual machines, and if you can't load a vmware machine, people 
nearly give you funny looks.

I would be happy with any virtual machine that worked with reasonable 
speed, but the vmware compatibility advantage is pretty large.
