If you are using Puppet Enterprise, it does have support for provisioning VMs though Puppet:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/cloudprovisioner_vmware.html If you're using the open source Puppet, I'm not aware of a way to do that (I'm not saying there's not a way, just that I don't know of one). But once you have provisioned the nodes some other way and have them running, you can manage them through Puppet at that point.
