I haven't used netjack yet but recently several people have reported 
success with it on multiple machines on the jack-devel list.

If you can install jack and run it on the vm and you have a network 
connection then netjack should work. The only possible issue I can think 
of is if the network-bridge does not allow you to find the internal 
ports of the host machine.
