Via "virtualization", you always get the same kind of architecture in your  
VMs as your host system has.
So on x86/amd64, you can install those VMs - and on ARM, you can install  
ARM VMs, eg. on a RasPi.

If you would like to use "alien" architectures, you have to use an  
emulator instead of virtualization.
There are such available for RasPi systems, I think qemu should do it.
For DOS systems, you could try dosbox.

I think there also has been a paid x86 emulator for the RasPi.

Anna
