The virtualbox-extension-pack port has been added.
There seems to be build issues with virtualbox if java is not present. This
effects the buildbot for Lion.
For now I disabled java for Lion+.
if {${os.major} > 10} {
configure.args-append --disable-java
}
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox
Public API (Java, Python, SOAP, XPCOM) to control VM configuration and
execution
Should we add "--disable-java --disable-python" for all OS versions? The port
currently has no dependency on python.
