Comment (by kencu):
The version of VirtualBox available on MacPorts is several years out of
date. We should probably delete it soon if nobody is prepared to update
it.
Looks like it's a pain to build it, as it can't use current tools and
significant manual steps are needed to set up the build environment.
I would vote we just delete the VirtualBox port as it's frustrating people
who think it should work.
Installing the binary is pretty much the only practical way to get
VirtualBox on MacOS these days.
