Yes. See 9vxp in 9vx(1). Also, have a look at acmevx in the bin

That's a very interesting point. Implementing lguest on Plan 9 would
require something like 13 system calls. Far easier than doing the
near-400 system calls of linux correctly.
At the cost of running an entire linux kernel on plan9...

If all you need from Plan 9 is in p9p no need to boot Plan 9.

Since you're on Ubuntu, why don't you start learning the ropes of the
Plan 9 programming environment by compiling/running 9vx on Ubuntu and
then hitting the papers? That way you can easily continue to use
