Fusion has everything you need for this, no need for Pro.

In the earlier downloadable OS X installers, the InstallESD was bootable; in the current ones it’s not. I don’t remember when that changed, so the Mavs one may or may not be bootable. However, on the versions that aren’t, there’s a “createinstallmedia” command-line tool buried inside the bundle that will make a bootable image for you.
