Yup, That is my setup. Simply install CF and create a DSN to your VM. I typically like to add something to my /etc/hosts to point to sql server incase you dynamically assign an IP for your VM. So I have in my /etc/hosts a definition for "sql.vm" and point that at the IP for my VM's sql server instance.
I like it better than creating a shared drive and creating a smb share. That always seems clunky. Also, apache will let you setup n vhosts so you can actually run apps without having to muck with creating a different context etc for the apps to run under. Hope that helps.
