Non-universal packages also can be used.

Please use “qt4-mac” package from MacPorts (i.e., sudo port install qt4-mac).

Please also refer to this thread [https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2014-June/012390.html]. It is mainly about build on Mavericks host, but may clarify some common things (e.g., how [and why] to set permissions to out/darwin.{amd64, x86}/{release, debug}/dist/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxNetAdpCtl).

Please let us know if it helped you. If not, please post actual error message printed by ./configure script or kmk tool.
