If by PTFs, he means z/VM maintenance, there is almost always some things to look out for there. If he's reasonably current, things should work fine. If by PTFs he means Linux maintenance, that really isn't an issue, since you'll have separate guests.
Adding SLES9 to the mix doesn't pose any more (or _less_) danger to the z/OS partition than SLES8 does. If you follow the rules of only letting Linux have access to DASD that you're willing to have Linux _write_ on, then there shouldn't be any exposure for z/OS. And vice versa.

There shouldn't be, but then you didn't say exactly what was concerning your VM guy. If there was something specific, we might have information that will defuse the concern.
