Yes, VMware fusion will do this, during the setup, you can tell the installer where you want a particular VM stored - it can be on another entire disk.

Just know that you're only storing a virtual machine file on the external. You can use that file in Fusion, but it won't be bootable by your Mac like a Bootcamp partition would be.

does this installisation(install to an external disk) requires hfs+ file system?
