I wrote the driver years ago, but I haven't found time to make a robust public binary release. I've just pushed the code, here:

https://github.com/pmj/virtio-net-osx/blob/cd0d520d14b994bca9b1cf9790767a774bfe3c1b/VirtioFamily/VirtioMemBalloonDevice.h

I unfortunately don't recall the status of it, as it's been some time since I touched the virtio drivers. But it should certainly be possible to get it working with a little bit of effort.
