Sure, no reason why not - you just need to ensure that your LFS system
can boot under both real and virtual hardware.

That said, you could just use a chroot environment like the one used to
build LFS in chapter 6. That's what I, and no doubt many others here do
- it's effective, and much less effort than setting up a VM...
