Depends on your goals.  You can certainly give a paravirt Xen guest[1]
physical hardware without any VT extentions.  But that guest will be
able to DMA anywhere in memory without VT-d, so if it's an untrusted
guest you'd be taking a huge risk.

[1] Note: this is with the xenbits.xensource.com kernel, not with a
kernel you'll get from kernel.org ATM.
