Yes, there is. In SmartOS we attempt to talk to the qemu monitor to drop an ACPI halt and then wait for that to complete or timeout and then drop the kill. This requires that the guest understand the ACPI events and for GNU/Linux VMs that usually refers to the acpi daemon package being installed and active.

Thanks for the extra info here.  Using Geoff's system_powerdown command, my CentOS guest wasn't at first responding, but now it is after:
  yum -y install acpid
  service acpid start
  chkconfig acpid on

Now I need to figure out how to do the same for OpenBSD guests - do you know?

Thanks again,
Kent
