What indications have you seen that KVM would have a problem with
this?  virt-manager has a cli that can be used for pretty much
anything you'd want to do in terms of setting up and running your
virtual machines.

Example: at my workplace we have a machine sitting in the server room
which only runs virtual machines.  Each team member can log in over
ssh.  Whomever set up the machine made wrapper scripts (which
basically call the various virt-xxxx commands) to make the common
tasks of managing of our VM's even easier.  If we need a gui on a VM,
we use vnc.

Note: I am only a user on this system, I would not be the "expert" to
ask for how to set something similar up.

cheers,

jon
