Does it access the hardware directly (e.g. T1 PCI card)? If yes, containers
(including lxc) might not work.

You can copy root filesystem from existing virtualbox installation. Replace
rootfs on an existing lxc container with that, and configure lxc-specific
settings (e.g. find configure_debian on
https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/master/templates/lxc-debian.in)
