I second the request.  FreeBSD already has a package for this called
virtualbox-ose-vnc:

emulation/2010-January/007360.html

In my case, I have some server VMs that use full-disk encryption.  I
can't use them in VirtualBox OSE, because the headless mode never gives
me a chance to enter in the dm-crypt passphrase at boot time (before the
OS boots up... before SSH).

Using KVM virtualization, I can enter the passphrase using the VNC
graphics.  (But VirtualBox has a more complete GUI than virt-manager and
does not require configuring a bridge on the host system, so I'd like to
use it if it were possible.)
