Yes, it is possible. IMO, your use case scenario is no different than doing the same on bare metal. With a Live CD + a 'raw' disk image (file), you can partition the 'raw' virtual disk and untar your tar ball. Install a boot loader in the 'raw' virtual disk and you should be ready to boot with the 'raw' virtual disk. -- Arun Khan (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) "If you do not come out of your shell, you are just a nut."
