Lots of people hand hold lenses like the 500/4 or even 400/2.8, just for a much shorter period of time than you would a smaller, lighter, lens.
Also, especially once you get into the really long focal lengths, VR can be useful even when using a bean-bag, monopod, or tripod. The high end tele's have VR that detects when it's on a tripod and adjusts accordingly for minor vibrations and mirror slap. Longer focal lengths are especially sensitive to tiny vibrations, so VR can be very helpful, both on and off the tripod.
