If you have HVM, probably yes (although you might have better luck with 
kvm), otherwise it requires paravirt support in the Live-CD, which moves 
it to the "it depends" column.

I have done all my testing using KVM, due to the dubious state of xen 
WRT FC{9,10}. And frankly I find it as easy to use unless I have a bunch 
of VMs on a single host.
