It depends which way you are trying to do it.

Will virtual PC run on Ubuntu? Possibly with wine, but there are better options since VirtualPC is intended to run on top of Windows.

Will Ubuntu run inside of VirtualPC? I have never run VirtualPC before (you would need windows installed on your system for that...which I don't have), but Ubuntu does fine inside of VMWare and Apple's emulator, so I can't foresee any difficulties with the Microsoft product.
