Are you sure they are not open source? They don't care about pushing anything upstream but the guest additions are still free software AFAIR. Debian is packaging them, I think. There was something about their scripts for generating the ISO images and maybe their installer being closed, though. Just took a quick glance and their SVN repo seems to contain something that looks like the corresponding code. https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Additions Nevertheless, using Virtualbox with bleeding edge kernels or recent x.org versions is just a big pain.
