To throw my experiences in:
I just managed to install 9front in virtualbox on my Arch linux x86_64 laptop (intel (Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73GHz), 2GiB RAM). I first tried with the Bell labs image which booted nicely from CD but after install, the boot from the virtual disk image failed. The "copy to disk" phase of the install took some time also here, but hardly hours.
I think the critical setting to make it work in virtualbox was to set the IDE controller to PIIX3 and to uncheck "use host I/O cache". I was planning to try the 9atom sometime later (but now I am mostly playing with the system that does work).
