Yes you can use 802.1q VLAN tagging to your VM interface.

The following steps will help you do that.
1)  create VLAN on the host
2)  link VLAN to an interface on the host
3) create a bridge on the host
4) associate interface to the bridge
5) Define the following in VM template

NIC=[
  BRIDGE=<bridge name given above>,
  MAC=00:e5:8d:9f:c1:ba
   ]

Hope this helps.
