Someone already found that unit2minor was removed from current so that
needs to be patched.

As a workaround you can symlink the missing shared objects to
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox

That's what i wrote yesterday. The port is under heavy development and
badly broken at the moment as i moved a few files around. So please give
us some time to fix this and bring it into proper shape. It's not working
yet but we're working on it.
