Hello, Lars --
I have NOT studied the issue -- but I think that the answer to your
question is a loud NO. I understand that VirtualBox must be installed
under the host operating system -- and your notion of "installing" it to
no OS at all, just to a portable device which would be used on any host
OS you happen to come across -- simply does not "fit" this model.
There are other ways to accomplish something similar, if I get it right,
but they are more complicated -- and unreliable -- than the kind of
thing i want to do. And some systems (like those at some libraries)
will resist most of your best efforts.
I hope, however, that someone else can be more positive for you and that
you can make their ideas work.
