Its possible, I tried it and it does work, but I ended up ditching the 
idea because I wanted all my node boxes to be identical. What I am working 
on now is getting ovirt-engine to work as a guest on a node.

First setup ovirt on a stand alone box
Setup everything the way you want it
Create a overt-engine VM
Shutdown the first ovirt-engine (the guest ovirt-engine will stay up)
Import the DB into the VM engine
Start the ovirt-engine on the VM

If you need to start a cold cluster you fire up all your nodes and then 
manually start ovirt-engine VM on one of the nodes.
