Yes possible. I also use this way.
Just in ideal be sure that clients are disconnected before this

It needs open Package,
    go inside of MAcOs folder, and drag VServer_Office from there.

So I get path as
     
/Library/VServer_Office/VServer_Office.app/Contents/MacOS/VServer_Office

But this will start it in TERMINAL. Not as true service.
If you quite termainl, it also will stop vserver.

Unresponsive is normal for vserver.

There was some command how to start from terminal as standalone process.

I have write it into wiki or faqs. I will try to find

Also Charles on this list did point usage of launchd for start of vserver.
This is modern Apple way.

I will make search and let you know
