Sorry for my rush on the previous post. Here is a better script:
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/vbox,v 1.0 2009/12/22 20:20:06 mlobo Exp $
#

# PROVIDE: vbox
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: nojail

. /etc/rc.subr

name="vbox"
start_cmd="${name}_start"
stop_cmd=":"

vboxm_start()
{
        /sbin/kldload vboxnetflt
        /sbin/kldload vboxnetadp
}

vbox_start()
{
	if checkyesno vbox_enable; then
		echo ' VirtualBox modules'
		vboxm_start
	fi
}

load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

-------------------------------------------------------

You have to place vbox_enable="YES" on /etc/rc.conf
