Yes, you can do this. There is a utility "nix-docker" that will convert a Nix configuration file into a BusyBox Docker image (see e.g. http://zef.me/blog/6049/nix-docker)

with nix you can now build docker images ... docs are in the manual http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-pkgs-dockerTools

and it is actually rather cool since you don't rely on any docker command :)
