I got it working! Awesome. Now all I have to do is create a bunch of bbcode tags for html elements like table td tr etc!

heres what I ended up with.

function process_message_preview($message)
{
    global $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $show;

    require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
    $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

    $previewhtml = '';
    if ($previewmessage = $bbcode_parser->parse($message, 'socialmessage', $message['disablesmilies'] ? 0 : 1))
    {
        $previewhtml = $previewmessage;
    }

    return $previewhtml;
}  


$mypage = process_message_preview($vbulletin->userinfo['field65']);

eval('$mypage = "' . fetch_template('user_custompage') . '";');

I created a custom template called "user_custompage" and just dumped the $mypage variable in it and nothing else. Works great.
