I just did a fresh install of SLES11 RC1 (Physical Machine pattern) then:
xen67:~ # zypper in libvirt
..
xen67:~ # rclibvirtd start
xen67:~ # uname -r
2.6.27.8-1-default
xen67:~ # rpm -qa | grep xen
xen-libs-3.3.1_18511_02-1.4
xen67:~ # rpm -qa | grep virt
libvirt-0.4.6-12.5
xen67:~ # rpm -qa | grep vm-install
xen67:~ # virsh list --all

So libvirt works fine on a machine with no xen. Currently, libvirt is
configured with --with-xen so it has xen support (obviously needed), but
unfortunately this causes it to be linked with libxenstore. Thus the xen-libs
dependency. You can still manage qemu/kvm instances without having the rest of
xen though.
Next installed vm-install:
xen67:~ # zypper in vm-install
..
Now xen-tools and xen-libs installed. vm-install starts fine and I can
progress to the point of actually starting the install. When selecting 'OK' to
start the install, I get an error dialog claiming "The hypervisor is not
running" (will attach screenshot).
So it seems to be working as you expect. Do you have libvirt installed and
libvirtd running? You can use it to manage non-xen VMs.
At this time, vm-install cannot be used to create qemu/kvm guests. Look for
this feature in openSUSE11.2.
