Hello,

thank you for the response.

I deinstalled everything related to VirtualBox, inclusive kBuild and made a
"rmconfig" in every port folder. I also deinstalled/checked for deinstallation
of the kernel modules and rebooted after the switch-off. After that I installed
emulators/virtualbox-ose again. But I always run into this specific error! 
On several other systems, running the very same OS revision and optimizations
defined in /etc/src.conf, I do not get this error message. Something seems very
fishy ...
