Is that what you meant by "antithetical"?
FHS is about keeping the "system" components in known location, and mandates stuff like separation of binaries, configuration, shared libs, data, etc.. virtualenv is about building an envirnoment which is insultated from the system components (and avoids polluting them). Putting the config file next to the binary would be verboten under the FHS, but I don't think it is relevant.
