Sure. The install would work almost identically to a local disk/RAID install with PXE + Kickstart.
The two (related) gotchas are making sure it doesn't wipe out any VMFS LUNs during install and geting the right /dev/sdx device for install. There are a couple approaches.
1. Mask/unmap/hide any VMFS LUNs from the ESX server during installation. This is actually a VMware best practice regardless of installation method or boot device.
2. Use the --exceptvmfs to prevent VMFS from being wiped, but still doesn't guarantee you'll get the /dev/sdx correct. If you use SCSI ID 0 for the boot LUN (also best practice), and there aren't any other disk devices, then the boot LUN should manifest as /dev/sda. If you do a manual installation, it will give you some idea of how the devices manifest.
If you can't follow #1, then be really careful with #2.
Let us know how it goes!
