Build Headless on 10-RELEASE?

Running "kldload vboxdrv" causes a panic.

This is the main branch of virtualbox-ose 4.3.8 for amd64 available in
ports, SVN commit 347141. It was compiled on FreeBSD 10-RELEASE.
Options for X11, NLS, and QT were disabled. I also think an OpenGL
option was disabled in either virtualbox-ose or one of it's
dependencies, but I cant remember for certain.

The original system install had the kernel, doc, and base sets. No lib32.

Earlier compiles were failing because (I think) lib32 was missing.
This was fixed by running "cd /usr/src; make toolchain"

During the compilation of virtualbox-ose I recieved another compile
error about missing libffi. I thought it was odd that the ports / make
process did not take care of this dependency automatically. I
mitigated that compile-time error by issuing a "pkg install libffi" -
there was another dependency like this but I cannot recall what it
was.

After adding the two dependencies I was finally able to get a full
compile. The end-product unforunatley doesn't work.

Can I give any more details?
