Comment(by chris.perl@…):

 Thanks for including my suggestions.  I've submitted vde2 as ticket 29319.

 As for the removal of /dev/null, this appears to be a problem with
 VirtualBox's build system.  I sent an email to vbox-dev with all the
 details and am waiting to hear back (http://vbox.innotek.de/pipermail
 /vbox-dev/2011-April/003946.html).

 I ran into the problem because I'm running macports 1.9.2, which by
 default still builds everything as root.  carsomyr didn't run into the
 same problem because he is running a version of macports checked out of
 svn, and it appears they've switched the default to building as 'nobody.'
 Regardless, the changes integrated into the port should stop that from
 happening no matter what version you're running.
