For single package updates, you can simply run "pkg install virtualbox" for now, and the package will be updated. Unless the updated package requires a reboot, this should work fine and perform the update "in-place."

Is there a way to update a single package from IPS without updating the whole

VirtualBox came out, and update is available for extra repository. But 
attempting to update it from package manager tries to create a new BE. Why is 
that, and is there a way to update single packages? I didn't find corresponding 
options in CLI pkg too.
