The short answer is no.  z/VM 6.1 requires the PFPO feature.  The 
Hercules implementation of this feature is incomplete and not enabled.  
The message referenced below provides the path to a local solution to 
the problem.  The solution requires a local change to the Hercules 
source code and a local build of Hercules.

The PFPO feature relates to floating point operations.  No evidence 
exists that the absence of this feature will impair z/VM 6.1 operation 
once the check for the feature is overcome during the initialization 
process.  There has been much discussion about this issue on the 
developer's list.  The consensus there is to only enable the STFLE bit 
setting in Hercules when the implementation of the PFPO feature is complete.
