VMware is a no go for now, or probably any time soon. I don't think 
virtualbox is running on freebsd yet. You could use jails, for just 
other freebsd installs, not really a VM so to speak.
bochs is crap for this purpose, simics doesn't run on it worth a crap 
either. If I were you, I would use something else. say a hypervisor 
running on bare hardware, ie: VMware ESX, or similar. I would say xen if 
it was ready, but I don't think it is.
