No experience with VirtualBox, but I use OS X in ESXI and VMware Fusion and both of those work for me. Initial installation of OS X can be a challenge - you may need to disable some virtualization features e.g. interrupt remapping and you can have some driver challenges depending on your specific hardware (e.g. recent mac mini needs a network driver).

Officially, VMware only supports mac pro (1). Unofficially, minis also work. Haven't tried a macbook pro.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. It's looking like I won't bother actually attempting this, though. If it were real easy I might do it but from all of the replies it sounds like way more trouble than I want to deal with.
