I imagine it might be possible, as long as (a) VB gives you control over the exact names of the symbols you export, and (b) the VB runtime (which nowadays I guess is the .NET CLI!) is amenable to being embedded in the same process with a JVM.
I suspect the second requirement is less likely than the first!
