No, currently SME can not act as a virtualization host. Most of the community do it the other way around and use VMWare or Proxmox to host virtualized SME Server. That would be the way to go.

Isn't this what the OP wants?

http://wiki.contribs.org/VirtualBox_4.0_on_SME_Server_v8_beta_6#Automatically_Start_Virtual_Machine

Need to be updated for VB5 and SME 9.1 I guess though...

I've not used it, so no experience.

Edited to add relevant contrib.

Yes, SME 9 can act as a virtualization host using VirtualBox; here's the wiki page with instructions: http://wiki.contribs.org/Phpvirtualbox

I've used it, and found it to work reasonably well, though I'm now running the VMs I'd been running under VirtualBox, under Proxmox alongside the SME server itself.
