Yeah correct. The virtualbox-ose port has an WEBSERVICE option that is
disabled by default. I will discuss this and see if we can enable it by
default or find another solution for phpvirtualbox users. There is also no
rc startscript for vboxwebsrv at the moment because of lack of time but
it's on my todo list. If you want to test phpvirtualbox i recommend that
you use virtualbox-ose 3.2.8 because it contains a lot of performance
improvements for vboxwebsrv.
