Correct, I tried to port virt-manager some time back. I never succeeded in
getting it to a usable state, especially due to the rather weird VNC
library it uses for display forwarding. The developers of this library
decided to use coroutines to implement VNC and used a few APIs Apple
considers deprecated. I never got that to work correctly – which doesn't
necessarily mean it can't be done, I just didn't bother and used a remote
virt-manager instead.

You should be able to use virsh, the shell of libvirt. It should be
available in the `libvirt` port.
