I've never tried with vxlan interfaces... But in principle it should work (emulated netmap mode enables netmap on any interface at reduced performance). However, in your case a good deal of packet processing already happens within the kernel (vxlan encapsulation) so I would definitely go for a kernel approach such as netgraph.
