 Hello,

 It seems you can't install Virtualbox if you're not root:

 {{{
 Error: org.macports.activate for port virtualbox returned: VirtualBox
 requires the "/Users/prudloff/Applications/MacPorts" directory and its
 parent directories to be root:admin owned and not world writeable.

 }}}

 Regards,
