Comment:

 @nxwolverine, as stated above, the version of clang in Xcode 4.3 (and
 earlier) does not support LIBRARY_PATH, and therefore, because the
 virtualbox build system has apparently not been programmed to use the
 correct -L flags, it cannot find the libraries it needs.

 The workaround for those using Xcode 4.0 through 4.2 inclusive would be to
 force the use of the gcc-4.2 compiler:

 {{{
 sudo port clean virtualbox
 sudo port install virtualbox configure.compiler=gcc-4.2
 }}}

 The workaround for those using Xcode 4.3.x (since it does not include
 gcc-4.2) would be to install the apple-gcc42 port and use that:

 {{{
 sudo port clean virtualbox
 sudo port install apple-gcc42
 sudo port install virtualbox configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
 }}}

 Users of Xcode 4.4 and later are not affected because the included version
 of clang supports LIBRARY_PATH.
 Users of Xcode 3.x are not affected because on those versions of Xcode
 MacPorts will automatically use gcc and not clang.
