HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO is enabled in the default kernel.
Starting the vm like this enables the hwrng:
/gnu/store/3rqbwx34kfa789jbywfbxl90nids08cf-run-vm.sh -device virtio-rng-pci
and it works as can be verified by
cat /dev/hwrng
The only missing components from what I can tell is packaging rng-tools
and adding a service to add /dev/hwrng to the entropy pool on boot.
