Although the page is a little hard to understand, I think the 'ported' OS is

Hmm.. I would say the OP got the interpretation correctly. Xen runs
specially ported versions of various OS's. Will Xen do what "we want it
to do" someday? Not sure. Their tight ties with Microsoft will make a
true VMware replacement nearly impossible (Microsoft just won't allow it).
