Sorry, I didn't look at PR.
It said same thing I wrote. But solution is a bit different.
I wrote PNG inc/lib in Makefile. (See previous attached 
vboxvnc-316-png-Makefile.tar.gz)

        @${ECHO} 'SDK_VBOX_LIBPNG_INCS = ${PREFIX}/include/libpng' >> 
${WRKSRC}/LocalConfig.kmk
        @${ECHO} 'SDK_VBOX_LIBPNG_LIBS = png' >> ${WRKSRC}/LocalConfig.kmk

The PR's patch use check_png function in configure to set 
SDK_VBOX_LIBPNG_INCS, SDK_VBOX_LIBPNG_LIBS.
It seems to be smart than mine, of course :)
But I can't understand sed replacement section at line 1630.
I don't need it for this issue. So my suggested patch is attached in this 
mail.

Also there is my reproductive step by using ESXi Virtual Machine.
I believe you can do.

I tested VM(Mem:768M, HDD:8GB) on ESXi4.
VM data on VMFS is located at FreeNAS 0.7.1 iSCSI target (ports/net/istgt).

1.) fresh install "Standard > 4 Developer" without any ports/packages
   from FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

2.) boot installed system and login as root from console

3.) install ports by portsnap
# portsnap fetch extract

4.) build VirtualBox 3.1.6 without X11 (DEBUG is optional)
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
# env BATCH=yes WITHOUT_X11=yes make WITHOUT_QT4=yes WITHOUT_DBUS=yes 
WITHOUT_NLS=yes WITH_DEBUG=yes

5.) install VirtualBox 3.1.6 (w/build kernel modules + install)
# env BATCH=yes WITHOUT_X11=yes make WITHOUT_QT4=yes WITHOUT_DBUS=yes 
WITHOUT_NLS=yes WITH_DEBUG=yes install

6.) run VBoxManage
# rehash
# VBoxManage list vms

7.) you can get "ERROR: failed to create a session object!" :-)
