Yes, have done this many times. It is a very good solution, though I'd
strongly recommend you to run it on some Linux distribution rather
than windows.

Other than that it just sets the same requirements on the I/o system
wrt sync and write ordering as any othe database under vmware does, so
make sure you understand those requirements and don't set your vmware
wrong there.

i run several postgresql instances on w2k3 and w2k8 on several vmware 
esxi vms without any problem for like 14 months now. the performance of 
course isn't as good as on a dedicated, hardware database machine but 
depending on your service needs that might not pose a problem.

for more technical vmware questions, you'd probably be better of asking 
on the general purpose postgres mailinglist, e.g. 
pgsql-general@postgresql.org
