You can install the Cisco IPT OS on VMWare directly with no issues. The only thing that's different is that when installed on an MCS server, it just loads. If you install it on a non Cisco server (like VMWare), you need a license key to activate the O/S.
The O/S disks that come with the NFR kit include license numbers. Just do a regular O/S build and pop the license number in to activate it. I built mine out that way and it works just fine.

I have the NFR kit, but no W2K3 appliance OS media. Is this similar to the CCM4.1 regirty hack that allows you to install CCM on a non CMS windows 2K?
