Yes it is:

lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_amd                30940  3
kvm                   153112  1 kvm_amd

The problem was that not enough of the qemu stack was installed. I had 
qemu-common, qemu-x86, qemu-system-x86 installed by yum. I'd assumed 
they pull in whatever was necessary. Silly me. Installed all qemu, now I 
get the new machine box.

But where do I choose paravirtual? I don't see any choice in the new 
machine dialog.
