Yes, Factor supports green threads within a VM. The IO library uses
non-blocking IO behind the scenes to minimize blocking as well.

Unfortunately, in both cases the person working on the project never publicly
released any code. You could email Phil Dawes personally if you're interested
in multiple VMs, or come to the #concatenative IRC channel on Freenode and ask
"prunedtree" about assembling and spawning native threads.
