Bapt mentioned that his .ova files didn't seem to work outside of virtuabox.

I would suggest to re-create the .ova file using my script, but try 
adding one of these two options to the export command:

   VBoxManage export [--legacy09|--ovf09]  <- these options might help?

In the meanwhile I'm making a "virtualbox-ose-lite" port which will in 
turn have a package with many fewer deps which will in turn make this 
less triggering to Glen.
