it's not a hang.  it's running, but all feedback goes to the VNC port.  maybe 
you'd like it to run in the background, so you get the prompt back.  just add 
a '&' at the end:

kvm -hda ubuntu6.06.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d -vnc :1 &

yes, and port 5901 is VNC's port 1  (since you used -vnc :1)

you do need a VNC client.  it would be the 'screen and keyboard' of the 
virtual machine.  you need at least that to install an OS.  after that, you 
could setup any kind of network access you like directly to the VM (ssh, X, 
RDP, etc)
