Hello,

yes NetBSD is running well in KVM, also FreeBSD and OpenBSD running 
good. When you search for a KVM Hoster where it is possible to run 
NetBSD I would try a VPS from the german company Hetzner. You can find 
the VPS products here: 
http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix_vserver/vserver-produktmatrix

I'm already a costumer of Hetzner and doing Colocation there. So I also 
have a few dedicated servers and virtual servers there. Maybe I could 
test the setup of NetBSD on a VPS in the next week. They use actual KVM 
versions for hosting the VPS, providing a good control panel with 
console acces (VNC) and you have a great BSD based rescue system available.

Best Regards
