Not directly. But if you convert the vdi file to a raw disk image

VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw file.vdi output.img

then you should be able to. ZFS might be able to read the file
directly (maybe if it's EFI labelled), or you might have to go via
lofi again if there are partitions. But converting it to a raw file is
going to be the first step.
