I think I tried this, going from a VMware VM to a physical box. The way I did it, was to do a BMR (Bare Metal Recovery) using EMC Networker. You boot with a special boot CD, connect to the backup server, choose a full backup (full meaning system state, etc).
The results weren't that pretty, from what I can remember. We eventually got it to boot (after adding some drivers, etc). BUt the application didn't start right, among other things. We eventually decided against it, and I (quite literally) put it out of my mind.
