Dragonfly BSD 1.8.1 has been released. "Security updates for BIND, File, libmagic, and TCPDUMP; X.Org added to various paths, including periodic directories for cron and manual paths; the dynamic loader now properly searches objects, solving problems with a number of pkgsrc applications; the fwe network interface is now properly dependant on Firewire; a bug in Vinum was fixed; update the EST module (CPU voltage/frequency reporting); the virtual kernel now properly handles spurious SIGTRAPs; MFC a bug fix for SMBFS which fixes a kernel panic."

I agree that the handbook needs updating, among other things. It's on my todo list (to send in patches/revisions), but alas, I have not yet had the time.
If you're interested in setting up a vkernel you can try "man vkernel" ... or follow this link:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=vkernel§ion=AN...
A couple caveats regarding the man page instructions: 1. At one point you'll have to use disklabel manually to create a partition in the root image file -- although not difficult there is no explanation as to how to do this; and 2. If you want to use the virtual ethernet device you might have to make /dev/tap on the host system.
