Jason, you would still be able to play with XEN/PV mode pretty well, in 
a traditional VM (whatever platform), and without having nested 
virtualization enabled.  However, the best way to go and experiment with 
XEN features would be to enabled nested virtualization instead.  If 
using VirtualBox, it's in Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V check box on the 
Processor tab.  And then ideally try out PVH mode, which partly requires 
vmx|svm.
