It seems to be a bit tricky to get that beast up and running:
Here is what I got to know so far:

- one must be in the group 'vboxusers'
- one must 'unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH' (at least in KDE4 environment)
  this will solve the SEGFAULT crash;
- one must create by hand(!) a dir ~/.VirtualBox and there a file:
  $ cat .VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml 
  <VirtualBox xmlns="http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings";
  version="1.12-freebsd">
  </VirtualBox>

  after this there is a least a log about the booting:

  $ cat .VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log
  VirtualBox XPCOM Server 4.3.2_OSE r90405 freebsd.x86 (Nov 20 2013 14:00:44)

but even with this you will get the above error message when yoyu start
as normal user VirtualBox;

it seems (Google) that the 10.x kernel need a special option:

option COMPAT_FREEBSD32 
(see: http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/888/528/ for example);
I have not yet tested it, due to lack of time installing a new kernel;

maybe the maintainer could spend a few words if this is required, or
what else is missing to bring this up in 10.x; thx
