qemu/libvirt "kind of" supports it (at least in F19).
In virt-manager you can define "current" and "maximum" memory allocation.
The VM only sees the current allocation and you can hot add memory up
to the maximum allocation.
Example from the xml definition:
<memory unit='KiB'>3145728</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory>
