Not looking good for Virgin at the moment however BT do also state "We have plans to distribute the channel as widely as possible and we will be making more announcements closer to launch." Of course this doesn't automatically mean Virgin will be included. BT could argue that the majority of Virgin homes will also have access to Freeview. By witholding the channels from Virgin, BT could sell the channels directly to Virgin homes via Freeview. Not likely, but not impossible.
It all depends how much BT want to use BT Sports as a tool to close the gap on virgin as the second biggest pay TV provider in the UK. Time will tell.
