Man, besides a few resolved problems with previous nvidia drivers and vbox 
3.x, I am yet to see issues on VBox and FBSD amd64 host!

I am using the 4.0.5 devel port now and I'm running all sorts of guest OSes 
inside of it, with the SAME .vdi files of my first VBox install! 

Here is a list of my guests:

Win7 (32&64)
XP (2)
Win2003 (4)
Leopard OSx
retail snow-leopard 10.6.7 (updated!)
Fedora
Debian
OS-2

Of course not all of these are here since VBox day one.
