 Be careful what you ask for, though: Using MacPorts StartupItems is
 actually worse for stability, because port unloading (and hence kernel
 module unloading) does not happen when VirtualBox is deactivated.  Better
 deactivation behavior will probably be implemented in the MacPorts base
 for ports that have sensitive system-level components.

 Ryan, if you're reading this, I'd happily send an e-mail to the dev
 mailing list concerning unloading semantics.  I'm wondering what it should
 say.
