There at least a couple of VAX hardware simulators available to run VMS, one commercial (I've heard the licence is Ouch-expensive), and the free one
SIMH, which does PDPs and other stuff as well.
VMS was also ported from VAX to Alpha (64 bit), and later Itanium, and is still in use in various places.
