All of our Oracle databases (about 15 of them) are virtualized under VMware. It's fully supported by Oracle (except in the case of RAC, which we do not use) and works great. In fact, having the functionality VMware provides with HA and snapshots, it's much easier for us to run Oracle virtualized than non-virtualized.
The other DBA and I were speaking the other day about how we wouldn't even want to work at a place without VMware to aid in running Oracle.
For the record, these are some of the products we're running virtualized with Oracle under VMware:
Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle Agile
Oracle Hyperion
Oracle Universal Content Manager
Sabrix tax accounting
and a few smaller products very few people have heard of.

We also run Oracle under VMware. Both middleware and database servers.
We're running ESX 4.0 on top of Cisco UCS & EMC storage.
No issues so far, we have been running the Oracle environment for about 4 months now.
