A virtual machine can be thought of as a physical machine with the hardware removed. ;-)
To set up a VMware virtual machine, for instance, you'd just (a) start with a VM with a blank disk, (b) install OpenSolaris, (c) configure as desired. I think this is all the original poster is suggesting. This can be done for free using VMware Server. The big advantage is that each user doesn't need to do the configuration. One person can do the install and lots of people can download and try it out.
