Vagrant + Chef is great! Vagrant + Chef + Berkshelf is better! You can define the cookbook dependencies in the Berksfile and version it along with Vagrantfile. Berkshelf is like bundler for your cookbooks. It assembles cookbooks from a variety of sources and loads them into your Vagrant-managed vm. Check it out at http://berkshelf.com http://berkshelf.com To help get things going in that end, I've been working on Kamino (https://github.com/hosh/kamino https://github.com/hosh/kamino). It's intended to generate a Vagrantfile+Berkshelf file for use in your project. Right now, it only supports a basic Rails stack. Pull requests welcomed :-)
