Virtualbox is now available in ports!

Today Virtualbox was committed to the FreeBSD ports tree.
After a lot of work we had a good discussion today about
how stable Virtualbox is, and after the CTF with take6 we
got a lot of good feedback, so it was time to commit.
Please READ the pkg-messages carefully, as well as the
wiki page.

If you like to use packages please see here for i386 and
here for amd64

We’d like to say thank you to everyone who
helped make this possible.

    Congratulations for all that helped in getting this done! I Really like that we have these options now and that FreeBSD can be used as a host operating system to virtual machines!

    Keep up the good work!
