Not anymore and no.

If you want to test your software under an older version of OS X in a VM, then you must use Leopard Server or Snow Leopard Server. Non-server versions of the OS prior to Lion are not licensed to run in virtual machines, and the VM makers respect Apple's licenses. There was one version of Fusion that ignored Apple's licenses, but that was fixed in a point release a few days after that version shipped.
