It used to work in VirtualBox under Linux - see:
   www.rstonehouse.co.uk/extras/GNUstep-VM-0.9
You need to download both the .ovf and the .vmdk file, probably the 
.mf file too.

Can you tell me what version of VBox you're using and what platform 
you're running on?

As a possible alternative, I've had it working under a recent VMware 
Player (though only tried under MS Windows).

My RPM packages that are available just now are rather old, built for 
gnustep-make 2.6.0 etc on an openSUSE 11.4 platform.  I'm building a 
set of the latest GNUstep releases on openSUSE 12.3 and hope to have 
at least some of them available in the next week or two.  I think Fred 
Kiefer has GNUstep RPM packages available on the openSUSE Build 
Service.
