There is a well known COM api allowing arbitrary C++ code to host a .NET runtime. Is something like this possible for a JVM runtime? I am not talking about COM API in particular, any C/C++ API will do.

As @LeleDumbo said in the comments JNI sounds like what you want.
Specifically the Invocation API which “… allows software vendors to load the Java VM into an arbitrary native application.”
