If you mean dragonfly as type-1 hypervisor, the answer is no.

Typical examples of type-1 hypervisors are Microsoft Hyper-V and Xen.The hypervisor runs directly on the bare-metal machine, and the host OS is just a special VM managed by the hypervisor.

If you mean dragonfly as type-1 hypervisor guest, the answer depends. But one person reported recently that dragonfly doesn’t boot on Hyper-V. See https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/dragonfly-packer/issues/1
