Not really. You can forget running games in a software-based VM, and those on *BSD are not that good anyway. Support for things like Xen is lagging behind, though Net has it.

Sadly, the reverse works OK. You can run you games in Windows, and run Open (or whatever) in VirtualBox or VMware. Not the best for security, but you could at least do it all on one box.
