I'm not 100% clear on how ESXi works, but in general, if the X server running in the VM guest is able to render OpenGL with hardware acceleration, then it should be possible to use VirtualGL in the VM guest. That's the strategy for VirtualGL integration, in general. Get 3D acceleration working without VirtualGL first, then add VirtualGL.
If there is no physical GPU in the server machine, however, then there is no point to using VirtualGL, since VirtualGL is fundamentally a mechanism for virtualizing physical GPU resources so that those resources can be used remotely and shared by multiple users and applications.
