My USE flags:
Installed versions: 4.3.32{tbz2}(10:25:28 18/02/16)(additions alsa
extensions opengl pam qt4 sdk udev -doc -headless -java -libressl -pulseaudio
-python -vboxwebsrv -vnc ELIBC="-FreeBSD" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7")
I don't have pulseaudio here, but do I need java for virtualbox?

$ dmesg | grep -i vbox
[ 4.163645] vboxdrv: Found 4 processor cores.
[ 4.163748] vboxdrv: fAsync=0 offMin=0x1d8 offMax=0xd44
[ 4.163792] vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is
'normal'.
[ 4.163793] vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 4.3.32 (interface
0x001a000b).
[ 4.173458] vboxpci: pci-stub module not available, cannot detach PCI
devices
[ 4.173461] vboxpci: IOMMU not found (not registered)
That last one is suspicious, presumably connected with this:
$ dmesg | grep IOMMU
[ 0.119875] dmar: IOMMU: failed to map dmar0
[ 4.173461] vboxpci: IOMMU not found (not registered)
I wonder what dmar0 is.

Me too, with no problems, but one BOINC project I use includes a .vdi which it
submits to virtualbox as a guest. That's what's failing. I want to make sure
virtualbox is set up right before going after that.
