The ubuntu images can be run locally. Other ec2 images may be able to run as a domU, it really depends on the image. There is info on running UEC images in kvm at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Images . The easy path support is only in the maverick and later images. There are other ways you can get lucid to work, though. in the lucid cycle, i was using https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/+junk/boothooks . its hacky and not well documented, but similar to the path that maverick takes now.
