VirtualBox supports RDP. You can connect to it with any RDP client.
I use KRDC for this. I start the XP virtual machine with:
VBoxHeadless -startvm "Windows XP" &
This will run the VM but will not display anything. You connect to it
through RDP.
Read the VirtualBox manual for more info (like like to configure which
port to use if you don't want the default one.)
