1. Yes. QEMU was developed for Linux, in the first place. The Windows
binaries are only side effects ;-) QEMU's website:

2. If I were you, I would not give in to the temptation of trying Plan 9
on Xen.

3. The Plan 9 wiki article on VMs is a little old. Parallels now has a
Linux version. VMWare Player (VMWare's really free version), too.

4. Here's a good list and comparison of virtualizers:
