Ian's answered the rest, so I won't duplicate what he's said.  I wanted to 
expand on this, however:

From a configuration point of view, it's as if dom0 had a dedicated NIC for 
each guest NIC, connected by crossover cable.  Configuring guest networks is 
then just like setting up a Linux machine with multiple NICs.  Bridging, 
routing, firewalling, etc should all work fine.

> - Any plans to port to OpenBSD?

Lots of people have talked about it but AFAIK there's nobody working on it 
right now.

Cheers,
Mark
