Microsoft revealed today that it will not support EFI booting for Windows Vista on its launch. The news will be a shock for owners of Intel Macs who had hoped they would be able to dual-boot between Windows Vista and OS X. Intel Macs only support booting via EFI.

Not to mention the fact that VMWare is free (as in beer). Both the player (for one-off, desktop use), and the Server (useful to setup a couple of VMs to do network/server testing on a regular basis).
OSX is already pretty much POSIX compliant (linux software have run on it for ages, after recompilation and some tweaks for PPC). Now that the machines are simple intel VMWare will be ported from linux in a snap.
If the "native gtk" project gains steam they could be only a recompile away. Otherwise they'd need to rewrite the UI (I don't think they'd require an X server).
