Yeah, I suppose you'll have to use Linux for image conversions (only for xen vhd, vbox supports qcow2). Not sure how packer works, if it solves this problem that would be great. Lastly, there is a way to get it to work on osx, but that comes with some pain: http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/10/04/convert-a-raw-image-to-xenserver-vhd.
