I thought about that.  However, the driver is now in Linux staging.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/vboxvideo

And their DDX driver is officially hosted on X.org.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-vbox

I think we should add vboxvideo.ko to graphics/drm-next-kmod and create
a new x11-drivers/xf86-video-vbox port when there's a major release.
