I don't know about what steps would be necessary to create a VM of the MSE on your own, but I do know that a VM of the MSE has been created within Cisco. It is used primarily for demonstrating Cisco's CleanAir solution with a minimum of hardware to lug around. Perhaps if you have a contact within Cisco they'd authorize you to obtain a copy of the MSE VM image.
