BTW: You need /usr/src available for the creation of the package. 
Preferably matching the kernel you want to install it..

I do this regularly (but without VIMAGE) in a jail where I build all my 
packages. ("make install" and "pkg create" in a script)

I do all updates from source. I only update kernel, user land and 
ports when security is at risk. Usually independent from each other.

But VirtualBox is an exception. I update kernel and VirtualBox at the same 
time.

I was not brave enough to enable VIMAGE and VirtualBox on the same server. 
But I may do that soon. I plan a major reconfiguration ca. end of the 
year. I hope it is stable enough.
