Hi Stephen,
When you get to the configuration of Nova (Compute) there is an option to
specify the hypervisor.
Running OpenStack under VirtualBox is not a problem.  You just end up with
using software emulated virtualization using qemu.

Shameless plug but see
http://uksysadmin.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/screencast-video-of-an-install-of-openstack-essex-on-ubuntu-12-04-under-virtualbox/for
what sounds like what you want to achieve.

Cheers,

Kev
