This will work in exactly the same way as having a headless server. When
creating the machine ensure you have access to either its serial or network
port.

When you boot the machine you can tell it to mount some media to boot from,
then connect to the serial or network to complete the install as you would a
headless server. If you've only got serial access then you use a text-only
installer. There are some Linux disks that can be made to startup a vnc
server at install time (I know CentOS can be made to do
this) and you can install from another computer using VNC.

The final option requiers your using the non OSS version of VirtualBox.  
When you create the machine turn on the RDP server and then you can connect
to that from a remote machine.
