Are you seriously saying VirtualBox is a viable option by specifying one hardware
platform? I don't see why AMD64 really helps, or AM2 for that matter - some
AMD platforms have iommu but that shouldn't be relevant either.

Qemu runs OpenBSD without VT. So does VMWare server (although that will
transparently switch it on, at least on VMWare server x64)

OpenBSD wasn't the only OS VirtualBox had problems with last time I tried, either.
VMWare, Qemu and VirtualPC all worked flawlessly.

VT may help, but the VMM should run without it.
