I don't get it... what's stopping you from doing a fully automated 
install of what we ship in the .dmg package? Mounting a dmg is not 
rocket science (thought that Mac OS users know this, using hdiutil).

"installer -pkg /path/to/mounted/dmg/VirtualBox.pkg" does all the work, 
and one can unmount the dmg afterwards.

There's nothing missing from what I can tell...
