I just tried with GENERIC and everything works. I don't know why I 
expected a normal module to work with a VIMAGE kernel since VIMAGE 
modules are erm... virtualized:)

What I really wonder now is whether I could somehow avoid having to 
install the ports tree for a single port. Something like, a package that 
contains the source of the VirtualBox module which one could build.

Or virtualbox-ose-kmod-vnet package:)

Thoughts?
