not at all, it is quite orthogonal to what Linux-VServer is doing, similar to the Xen project ... KVM is handling full system virtualization, which, as noted on that page, will allow you to run unmodified 'images' (operating systems including kernel) in a virtual environment. naturally this adds quite some overhead to the environment and requires independant kernels, caches, disk images, etc ... Linux-VServer OTOH, is virtualization, or more precisely isolation at the operating system level, so actually between kernel and userspace, which allows to share a lot of common data, adjust resources very easily and avoid the overhead of duplicate caching, network stacks and additional indirections ...
