Would I be able to use windows bitcoin-qt somehow in a windows virtual machine? I use OSX and was going want to use the windows version. I can do this with boot camp I know but is it possible through a virtual machine?

Sure, why not? It's a VM, you can run anything that would run on Windows. That's what VMs are for.

Using a virtual machine is great for securing your wallet.  Ensures a clean system.  I use VMWare with no network devices activated.  I can create keys without ever worrying about security holes.  Create a snapshot without keys, save it, then create key, save snapshot, return to old snapshot and create other keys.  You will always keep everything seperated, this ensures higher security without having to go out and buy extra systems.
