Yes, I have used both (but not simultaneously). Right now VBox is in use:

:; pkg list virtualbox
NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION 
     IFO
system/virtualbox                                 5.2.24-2018.0.0.0 
     i--

KVM/Qemu is also available:
:; pkg search -r qemu
...
pkg:/system/qemu/kvm at 0.0.1.20160303-2018.0.0.2

If "on OI" means that...

I guess, there is NO virt-manager available

Depends what "graphical console access" means to you...

If you start Unix like guest, you can do sort of graphical accesses (VNC 
for example is available in both VBox and KVM; or ssh + Xserver, etc...)
Also, Windows boot is possible.
