Hello pancreasboy,

Yes you may create Virtual machine based on Boot Camp.

Please install Parallels Desktop. Start Parallels Desktop ->File -> New Virtual Machine ->
Operating System Detection -> Continue ->
Type - windows and Version -> Windows XP ->
Custom installation -> default setting or setting as you wish -> continue
Hard disk options-> Boot Camp Partition
