With lxc, you wouldn't solve the problems Qubes aims to fix (attack surface between userland and the kernel is simply too big; the whole protection would become useless with every exploitable security hole in kernel, which in Linux seems to happen every two months or so - and that's not including problems related to X11), and the overhead - administration overhead in particular - would be close.
