Yes, it's officially supported.

I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to. You could do it 
with an O-series too, it just wouldn't be legal or officially supported. 
All you need is a RE acting as a host, it doesn't need to talk to 
hardware. Personally I'd just as soon they let me license JUNOS and slap 
it on my own fast cpu (which would probably cost 1/100th the price 
Juniper will charge me for standard PC hardware :P).
