Hi Ryan, this Wiki page is for building VirtualBox from the sources, mainly for development. So a MacPorts portfile doesn't help here. Also I guess the portfile will build a version for X11 and not Quartz.
About your question about hardening: This warning says exactly what it means. Don't use VBox without hardening for production builds. If you don't have configured to disable hardening, I just can imagine its because you build the X11 version on OSX.
