Anything that can emulate full x86 machine should work (in the sense
that you can run Xen/Linux and create PV guests). To create HVM guests
(e.g. Windows) AFAIK you need a real machine vith VT/SVM support.

Vmware player and Vmware server is free to use.
Virtualbox is free to use for individual/evaluation purposes.
Virtualbox OSE is GPL, opensuse 10.3 even include it as part of the
distro (not installed by default).
qemu should work, but probably much slower compared to other alternatives.
