I think Thorolf wanted to know if he needs to build xen3 on a host with a vt
processor or if he can use generic xen3 packages for his distribution or
maybe he wants to use the same build result for more then just one host
(maybe a xen host with vt & build host also without vt).
I am not 100% sure but I don't see no reason why a non-vt enabled system
shouldn't be able to compile xen3 with support for vt processors.
at build time the cpu vt extension is not used at all, so that should be no
problem.
But as already mentioned by Daniel, you need vncserver devel-libraries and
maybe (if you want to use this feature) sdl devel libraries.

I haven't used suse for years, but I would be very suprised if there would be
no libvncserver-devel packages for suse. maybe they just have another name.
maybe something like vncserver-devel, devel-vncserver, ... You should search
for all packages with "vnc" in their name and install everything that has to
do with vnc and development (header, libraries).
Xen3 will tell you at compile time if vnc support is enabled or if not
(because of missing libraries).

check the compile output for something like this (not at the beginning, this
is shown in middle of the compile process, so logging your compile output
might help):
Install prefix usr
BIOS directory /usr/share/xen/qemu
binary directory /usr/bin
Manual directory /usr/share/man
Source path /tmp/buildd/xen-3.0.1/tools/ioemu
C compiler gcc
make make
host CPU i386
host big endian no
target list target-i386-dm
gprof enabled no
static build no
VNC support yes
SDL support yes
SDL static link no
mingw32 support no
Adlib support no
FMOD support no
WARNING: cannot compile statically with SDL - qemu-fast won't have a graphical
output
(I admit, I should take a closer look at the warning that I see in my compile
log, shouldn't I? *g*)
