Well. I couldn't run VirtualBox on my FreeBSD machine. I get:

Unknown -102 error during initialization of the Runtime

and when compiled with debugging symbols I get :

!!Assertion Failed!!
Expression: g_szrtProcExePath[0] != '\0'
Location  : /home/therek/svn/virtualbox/src/VBox/Runtime/r3/process.cpp(100) 
char* RTProcGetExecutableName(char*, size_t)
Trace/BPT trap: 5

My machine:
FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #0: Wed Feb 25 08:48:36 CET 2009     

As for the port you're mixing two different install locations (diff below). 
You should either put VirtualBox in typical library location or add ldconfig -
m /usr/local/share/virtualbox.

What about kernel module?
