I just read an interesting article (only available in print) about PowerConvert from Platespin in a German magazine, Windows IT Pro (5/2006). PowerConvert supports the virtual machine formats of VMware and Microsoft. You can do any kind of imaginable conversion with these two formats including physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-physical.
You can even use image formats from Symantec (Ghost), Acronis and Platespin to create virtual machines. An interesting feature is that one can perform live transfers without taking source servers offline or rebooting them. At least, that it is what they purport on the product homepage of PowerConvert. Prices start at 2,619 Euro.
