Discussion is being a while ago, however I was also investigation into VT-d support for Mac Book Pro / Mac Mini 2011 models and crossed few times on this article. So I think it worth's an update with my findings.
On the beginning of my "journey" I didn't exactly review what benefits VT-d would provide. So here is the deal:
While some configuration with i5/i7 have in theory support for VT-d, the current used chipset doesn't (HM65). I have a MBP from 2010 with the HM55 chipset, which as of ark intel page support it, but it is "bios" disabled. Nothing that could be changed without Apple releasing an EFI update to enable it. But since the newer Models don't have a chipset supporting this feature, I guess it is not likely they will ever release one.
In the other hand, the VT-d feature is used to "passthru" e.g. PCI devices to your guests. On a MacBook Pro 15" nor on the latest Mac Mini there is an PCI(e) express slot available that would make this feature interesting. Allocating any existing hardware to your guest would be academic fun to play with, but no real use case.
For e.g. Mac Pro there is an update available to enable VT-d (if the hardware has VT-d) which btw makes sense, since you can mount additional hardware into your Mac that you might want to dedicate to your virtual guess session. But for Notebooks and MiniMac's, honestly I don't see any advantage having this feature as long there is no expansion slot for e.g. storage or graphic cards that could be dedicated your vm guest(s).
