No, I believe Virtualbox will "map" whatever serial port is on the host to
a "virtual com port" (emulating real COM port that DOS expects). You just
have to manually configure it... it´s not automatic, afak (it´s been a
while since I had to use anything rs232!).
Check this out, it´s an old document but perhaps it can guide you in the
right direction.

Hope this helps...
