Yes, apart from the port makefile patch, the VNC option is perfectly
"orthogonal" to X11/QT4.

I made an integrated copy of virtualbox-ose port with Daisuke's patches,
called virtualbox-ose-vnc, adding libvncserver as a lib dependency.

In order to use it :
# pkg_delete virtualbox-ose
# cd /usr/ports/emulators
# tar vxyf 
http://old.nabble.com/file/p27396532/virtualbox-ose-vnc.3.1.2_1.tar.bz2
virtualbox-ose-vnc.3.1.2_1.tar.bz2 
# cd virtualbox-ose-vnc
# make install clean

You can select any combination of options with it (X11 if you want to have
the "VBoxSDL" binary, QT4 if you want to have the "VirtualBox" binary). I
tested it with X11 and VNC Free Edition Stand-alone Viewer. 

If possible, it would be great to have Daisuke's patches integrated into the
mainstream port.

Best regards,

Hubert
