Sure you can. Maybe not as easy as in VMWare but still. Use headless
mode as hinted by someone else and the trick is to start the VM
detached from the terminal like this:

~ $ nohup VBoxHeadless --startvm VMname &

and use e.g. rdesktop to access it. It works locally too...
If you have more than one VM remember to specify different tcp
port for each.
