This is not possible, you have to install a second guest for your NUT.
The reason is simple, the testing will reboot the NUT in many test steps
so our BSD guest get shutdown as well ...

Using vmware is possible, but you need a second guest for this.
And you need to make the /dev/vmnetX devices RW for the user which run the
vmware, this is needed because the TN need to set promiscious mode on
the interfaces.
