Comment(by mmitar@…):

 I have managed to compile VirtualBox 4.0.0 against MacPorts' qt4-mac
 independently. The biggest problem is that VirtualBox is expecting Qt4
 framework and MacPorts does not provide one. The solution was to just
 remove all special handling of "darwin" in VirtualBox build system and
 pretend it is Linux. And it worked.

 I also have to remove some strange `ApplicationServices` references in
 auto-generated file `AutoConfig.kmk`, although it could be that this was
 needed just because I was trying all possible things in different order.

 I have also created a file `LocalConfig.kmk` as described
 [http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mac%20OS%20X%20build%20instructions here].
 So except Qt4 everything else was straightforward.

 I am attaching a patch of all changes I made.

 I was doing this for myself so that I can have `VirtualBox.app` in
 `Utilities` subdirectory of `Applications` directory. So this change is
 also in the patch.
