Such an automatic check would be a hack. Remember, the compilation
has to be done as root.

The better solution is to install the dkms package. DMKS will keep
track of kernel upgrades and automatically recompile registered
modules (vbox modules will be registered). This will work for the
VBox host module as well as for the VBox guest modules (dkms in
the Linux guest of course).

Kind regards,
