virt-manager and qemu-kvm?

So, I'm extremely impressed with Porteus for two reasons. 1) All of my hardware (including my iwlwifi card) is detected with no problems. 2) The ATI fglrx driver is available out of the box, and it freaking works. Well done, team!
Is it possible to get virt-manager and qemu-kvm installed on Porteus? I tried a few months ago, but after much crying and gnashing of teeth due to dependency hell, I gave up and looked at other distros. Now, I'm back here. What I'm aiming for is having a minimal distro installed on a USB stick that I can then use to boot and manage VMs stored on my internal SSD. That way, I can blow away and recreate the USB stick whenever I need to without impacting the VMs where I do all my work. Basically, a client hypervisor of sorts. Can I do this in Porteus?
