Edible Landscaping nursery, in Virginia, lists 3 virginianas, 1 hybrid, and no less than 14 different kakis.  Many of them, not all, it describes as self-fertile.  They do not mention a male tree.  I haven't called them, just looked at their website, but with such an extensive collection they might be a good resource to ask questions to.

I've got one local D.virginiana selection that produces mostly small(1") seedless fruits and occasional  larger (1.5") fruits, each of which typically contains a single, slightly plumper-than-normal  seed.  Plenty of potential pollenizers nearby.
I've yet to think to visit it during bloom period to inspect the blossoms as to 'gender' or perfection.
