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.
