Be careful what you ask for, though: Using MacPorts StartupItems is
actually worse for stability, because port unloading (and hence kernel
module unloading) does not happen when VirtualBox is deactivated. Better
deactivation behavior will probably be implemented in the MacPorts base
for ports that have sensitive system-level components.
Ryan, if you're reading this, I'd happily send an e-mail to the dev
mailing list concerning unloading semantics. I'm wondering what it should
say.
