I am using Fedora 12 and VirtualBox 3.1.2

Windows XP is in VirtualBox

How to add serial port which will be 'physically' connected to /dev/ttyUSB0

This is all set out in the VirtualBox documentation. Particularly online or in the pdf. Essentially run VirtualBox and go,

(VM name) > Settings > Serial Ports > Enable port > connect to device

And add the name of your device. Be careful about file permissions.

If you're running headless, I think you can do it through VBoxManage modifyvm.
