I'll bundle up the VM after work. (Tonight UK time)

Exupery requires a few VM extensions, they're completely harmless
unless you also load Exupery and start it running. I already need to
maintain a VM for Exupery, so I merged the changes Pharo wanted into
it. By merging the changes into Exupery's branch of VMMaker, they'll
get in all future VMs I build.

So long as you don't run Exupery, it's just another VM, but with
both the truetype font changes and the closure bytecodes. You can
run Seaside, and anything else.

Exupery itself is compatable with Seaside. There's a tiny fix to
Seaside's continuations that's been included in 2.9 that you may
want.

The VM is a 32 bit one, but runs OK on 64 bit Linux in compatability
mode. If you want to have a modern VM with closure bytecodes then
using the Exupery VMMaker is a reasonable thing to do. By just
building using Exupery's latest version of VMMaker rather than the one
from SqueakMap, you'll get closure support and sub-pixel
anti-aliasing.
