The UI in RHEL 5/CentOS 5 is definitely very limited, but KVM does work with 
all these things under the hood. In particular KVM seems to run fine on top of 
a simple host bridge, which can in turn rely on a bonded interface. I have had 
no problems with boot support, although I confess I don't use PXE - DHCP and 
kickstart over the LAN work fine, though.

I do hope the interface implementation in RHEL 6 will be much more usable. I 
don't mind doing things in XML files and command lines, but lots of people do.
