Then you have some issue with the virtualbox package, does the output of:
  port contents virtualbox | grep org.macports.VirtualBox.plist

correctly show the plist? You should uninstall and reinstall virtualbox.

So you're actualy using the macports provided application, you seem to
just lack the LaunchDaemon plist, maybe you inadvertently removed it
while removing another version of VirtualBox.

Before further test confirm that you get the plist reinstalling
virtualbox and that the drivers are correctly loaded using 'port load'
action.
