Is it possible to run Jboss 4.2.3 as a bundle inside OSGI container? What would be the challenges associated with it?
For those who cares, I am looking at running dcm4chee inside OSGI.

While not impossible it would be incredibly hard, a simpler alternative would be to embed OSGi inside JBoss, see:
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-framework-launching-and-embedding.html
and
Programmatically Start OSGi (Equinox)?

http://www.dcm4che.org/jira/browse/DCM-308 Looks like they’re adding support to make the Jars valid bundles – couldn’t you just work out the dependencies and deploy these to an OSGi framework? OSGi has support for JMX and JNDI.
Unless there are huge dependencies on JBoss’ internals, I’d suggest the second option, but beware of Class.forName usage and other non-osgi-friendly code.
