There is this: http://git.annexia.org/?p=import-to-ovirt.git which can generate OVF, and with not very much extra work could generate OVAs. The problem is that OVF is not a reliable standard. Sure, there is a standards organization behind it, but there is in practice no interop. You have to know the target hypervisor in order to be able to create OVF which will work, and the OVF is quite different for each target.
