Like many needs there are lots of solutions, none of which are perfect, 
or at least without problems the competition says are important ;-) This 
is one more thing to study, but it seems as though there is not an 
overview of the various solutions for easy comparison.

This list is probably incomplete:
 linuxjail - BSD jail is the goal
 VMware - I use this for BSD machines
 xen - the last I looked ran Linux, not Windows or BSD unpatched
 UML - run Linux nicely
 VServer - news to me
