AFAIK the Fedora virt package is only for recent systems with the virt in 
hardware. VirtualBox is the solution now that xen has been removed from Fedora 
and is only available in other distributions.

I've read that xen would be in FC12, but I read that about 10 and 11, too :-(
Until it is in a shipping and supported release VBox is a viable solution.
