BootCamp Partition>VirtualBox Image - btfc - 04-18-2009
Does anybody have a workflow for this?

seems to confirm what I was hoping, BootCamp partition>VMWare Image>Virtualbox image.
Anyone else?

Use ghost or another disk imaging software. Boot the Mac natively via a USB drive, get the image, then boot the VM and restore the ghost image onto your virtual partition. Before doing any ghosting you may want to run Sysprep first (to abstract out machine-specific dependencies you might encounter.)
I'd be more specific except I haven't done this so the best I can do is recommend the general strategy I would try to follow.

Thanks for the Sysprep tip. Sometime soon I'm going to do a fresh Windows install, and would like to test this process out in advance, as well as test drive Virtualbox.
