I noticed the same problem with dkms. It seems that there is something leaving behind kernel modules every time it updates. I removed/purged virtualbox-ose-dkms and re-installed only to find this in dmesg:

vboxnetadp: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

I purged again, went and looked in:

/lib/modules/2.6.32-trunk-amd64/updates/dkms

Only to find vboxnetadp.ko and vboxnetflt.ko were still sitting in there even though the package was purged and no kernel modules should have existed on the disk. Removing those by hand and re-installing virtualbox-ose-dkms fixes the problem and I can now use virtualbox again. Seems like something is missing on the post uninstall or dkms purge scripts but I haven't had a chance to go find out what script/system should be removing these things. Still new to dkms and the rules about how its supposed to be doing things. Should it be overwriting those files somehow or should it be removing then re-installing them after they are rebuilt? Its apparently not doing either with vboxnetadp.ko and vboxnetflt.ko but is with vboxdrv.ko.
