As far as I know, there are pretty good conversion tools for converting VMs from KVM to VMware today [1] (which, btw, I consider to be a strength as Eduardo mentioned before. we certainly not in favor of vendor lock-in). It would only make sense for them to support converting the OVA we produce, much like we extended virt-v2v for converting VMware's OVA not long ago - and I'm pretty sure they won't object to do this, they have all the building blocks - getting a VM as a single archive that complies with the OVA standard should make it easy for them).
