Nope.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, you'll probably end up wasting a lot of 
time tweaking various knobs until it works. If it works at all. You've got a 
fairly good chance of getting the basic kernel running in VM, but I wouldn't 
place much bets on your non-free driver. Your VM will probably not even 
detect the hardware device that it's for, so your driver won't have anything 
to do.
