Ah sure - you would only be using the Nano's FTDI USB chip for uploading
the code. The V-USB device itself would use your assigned I/O pins together
with a specific arrangement of diodes to mimic the USB tx/rx pins, with the
USB hosts V+ and GND pins powering the Nano's power rails.  Pretty sure it
would work fine.

Cheers,
