Oops. Indeed it warns about /proc and kernel module. I guess I just
was too eager to get VirtualBox running to pause and read
documentation.

As I explained, kbuild that comes with the port does not work for me.
And I *do* have compat6-amd64 installed. Apparently I'm not alone. See
Benoit's email in this thread.
Here's what needs to be added to /etc/libmap.conf in order to make
supplied libraries work:
libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2
I'll re-do the build with supplied kbuild and see if that makes any difference.
In any case, I appreciate all the work you and others have done to get
VirtualBox on FreeBSD running.
