Sure it is. You still have to emulate the entire rest of the PC.
Intel makes a nice open source library which papers over the virtualization APIs on Windows, Linux, and the Mac and there are several others sprinkled around Github. Given the collapse of Moore's Law with respect to instructions per second per thread, it's basically inevitable we'll use something of that sort in MAME.
