Yes, you can use vmware server to create the VM.  If you you don't need 
the other features of server (always running, console viewer optional) 
you may want to uninstall server and install vmware player for a more 
lightweight runtime.  Player can't create new VM's, only runs one at a 
time (but you can run multiple copies of player) and has the viewer 
console tied to the running instance.  You can only have one of player 
or server installed at once, but either can run the same image after you 
create it.
