I think this would be possible. The command-line utility VBoxManage lets you do everything you can with the GUI. The only caveat is that it needs quite a bit of storage and root permissions to start/stop virtual machines.
The program could be made set uid root, so that program could run as root, without allowing any other program to be run as root. Or sudo could be configured to allow a specific set of user(s) to run a specific application. sudo is *not* an "all or nothing".
