Metalink note "Support Position for Oracle Products Running on VMWare Virtualized Environments [ID 249212.1]" is pretty clear on this: no.
If you weant to virtualize, why not use Oracle VM (aka Xen)? It is probably better technology.

I wouldn't know, and possibly neither does anyone else. Your client may not be very impressed if you suggest a non-certified environment. But it is up to you.
