There has been some discussion on the list about how to do that with linux guests/hosts, but I'm sure you could extrapolate from that. On the plus side, if you prevent any non-tor access the the internet from the guest machine, you may be more secure enabling javascript and browser plugins, and using an online RSS reader.
