Comment:

 Replying to [comment:11 ryandesign@…]:
 > The bitness of your kernel is irrelevant to everything except what
 bitness of kernel extensions you can run. Apple produced years worth of
 64-bit Intel Macs that boot to a 32-bit kernel, which again is no
 detriment to being able to run 64-bit software on those machines.

 What I wrote here is true, but I failed to realize that:

  1. virtualbox includes kernel extensions, and
  2. virtualbox's configure script runs `uname -m` to determine whether
 your kernel is 32-bit or 64-bit, and adopts the same architecture when
 building the rest of virtualbox

 This is not a behavior I believe we have encountered before in MacPorts so
 we don't have anything prepared for dealing with it, but I'll see what I
 can do.
