Comment:

 It is correct for virtualbox's configure process to use pkg-config to find
 its dependencies.

 It was not necessary to change the way in which the LibVNCServer
 dependency was specified.

 Perhaps the reason why virtualbox was only unable to find libvncserver
 when the compiler is clang is that [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail
 /macports-dev/2011-August/015543.html clang does not respect CPATH and
 LIBRARY_PATH].

 Why is so much patching necessary to get virtualbox to use a different
 compiler? Why can't you just set `configure.compiler` as we do in other
 ports? See wiki:PortfileRecipes#compiler .
