I don't know about Boot Camp, but I'm pretty sure Bruce is right about
VirtualBox being able to run any Intel OS.
I'm assuming your problem with Boot Camp is because Boot Camp wants
SP2 and your disc is non-SP2. You can't get it running long enough to
go to Windows Update (Microsoft Update these days) to download and
install SP2. Have you tried creating a slip-stream install?
Basically add the SP2 install files to your non-SP2 install disc. It
all happens at install time. You might consider some of these links:

Sorry. This was not an attempted hi-jacking. :)
