Hey Scott, 
SASL is being supported.
Check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtVNCAuth

I don't know how users will be mapped to domains or if that's been
discussed.
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html 

But http://libvirt.org/auth.html does mention how to auth users to
libirtd in general.
