I can confirm that it's possible and relatively straightforward to buy the Entel "Chip Turista" with a foreign passport in Entel shop in the touristy neighborhood of Miraflores. Nobody seemed terribly confused but there were a few different lines to stand in and it took maybe half an hour and I had to sign a few papers and put my fingerprint on one of them. I speak (barely) enough Spanish to be able to complete the process without fully understanding it, but you might even be able to make some of the folks in the shop speak English if you don't.

The Virgin Mobile website, on the other hand, didn't seem to work. Still waiting (after three days) for them to email me or whatever was supposed to happen. We'll have to see if they charge my credit card anyway.
