I have XRv working in GNS3 with Virtualbox. It's a pretty straight forward setup. Import the .ova into Virtualbox (you might want to change some of the default settings as it uses a lot of resources with those values!), add the VM to GNS3 preferences (ensure you click to enable console support), then drag it on like a regular router and you are good to go.
