In theorie, yes.
In practice, you can try, and your mileage may vary.

If the HVM guest OS _would_ see a 100% "normal" system, all the *BSD's
would also work. But they don't (see threads about this) - for some
low-level hardware access reason I cannot explain right now (I think
it's explained in the *BSD threads) - but that's how it is currently.
