We've had Plesk running inside vserver for quite a while; I know from speaking to someone inside Plesk that they are interested in making Plesk vserver aware but I don't know if they've actually done anything towards that goal. Take the rumor for what its worth. One thing I can tell you is that they have been very helpful in getting the Plesk to work inside vserver, at least to me. I guess if you're doing nything specific they would be glad to help you.
