If you dont mind wasting some disk space and running some extra processes, I just use apt-get install Xvfb and apt-get install x11vnc to get a VNC server running (not knocking what comes builtin with VirtualBox, I just happen to use Xvfb and x11vnc all the time anyway). For unix there is a clean and simple ssh based vncviewer from the maker of x11vnc at (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html).
The main advantage for me of this approach is it works for any scenario, nothing special to VirtualBox, and works very cleanly with ssh and improved TightVNC and with the latest Xorg server so I do not have to worry about how uptodate the Xvnc or vncviewer software is from RealVNC or TightVNC, which I have found to be spotty in the past, at least the free versions running on unix. I have not had the best of luck trying to run vbox in headless mode, but it may all be working just fine now.
