I spoke with a couple of their devs on Freenode and while they are willing to 
assist contributors porting to FreeBSD, they are not actively working on it 
themselves. Their response to my inquiry was "check out source and start 
porting!"

A few of their devs hang out in #vbox-dev on Freenode. This would be an 
excellent port for FreeBSD.
