I have a Macbook Pro partitioned to dual boot Ubuntu or OS X. I've read a couple guides explaining how to run a physical Windows partition as a guest inside VirtualBox. Is the same thing possible with an OS X partition?

yes its possible, i would look at the Ubuntu tutorials, they will most likely also work, with slight variation, in OSx.

VirtualBox will only virtualize OS X Server. Anything else is a violation of the license agreement and that license agreement is honored by VirtualBox, VMware and Parallels.
From the Mac OS X Server EULA:
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the “Mac OS X Server Software”) on a single Apple-branded computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-branded computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software.
There's no such clause for the desktop version.
If you want to obey the license there it is. If you want to disregard the license, that's something else.
