I guess I should have posted my step-by-step, but wasn't sure if all of it was necessary. This is what I did:

urpmi virtualbox

(I took note of all the packages there were going to be installed and manually installed everything but virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms and virtualbox-doc

Downloaded the current VB packages, including the extension pack

Ran urpmi virtualbox*rpm, but it complained about python 2.6, so I did a symlink to the 2.7 version Ran urpmi virtualbox*rpm, but it complained about libcrypto, so I created another symlink to the 1.1.0 version
ran urpmi --allow-force, to allow me to select Y to install package anyway.

At that point, it compiled the vboxdrv and I was able to install the extension pack.
