Yes, the VMware Converter can do this. It'll create a VM from a disk image.
No one has mentioned the Windows Virtual PC, a Microsoft product,
that lets you run Windows XP apps in a virtual environment under
Windows 7 Pro, letting XP apps run in their natural window on
the 7 desktop, or you can run the virtual XP machine desktop
in its own window.
It will also run Windows 98, with a few gotchas:

The other
hassle is having to essentially rebuild an Win98 (or any
other) machine from scratch in order to try to replicate an existing
setup. I haven't seen any way to "capture" an existing machine and all
its disk partitions -- especially when there's multiple partitions of
different types -- and import it into the virtual world. That'd be great.
Not for free but AFAIK VMWare Pro allows you to do this.
