If you mean any other ARM-based machine, the N800 and Palm T|E can and
also the Neo1973 (in svn.openmoko.org).  They lack other features that
versatile/PB has, though.  They are all embedded systems and Versatile
may be the most pc-like machine with an ARM cpu in qemu.

You can modify the versatile kernel to issue some signal to shut down
but that will only work in qemu.
