This issue is described in the following thread on the openindiana-discuss@… mailing list:

VirtualBox Client Extensions Broken https://www.mail-archive.com/openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org/msg26504.html

OpenIndiana / Illumos changed the names of some kernel thread-related routines which VirtualBox references as described here:

https://www.illumos.org/issues/13917

The resolution is also described in the above issue as being located at:

https://github.com/omniosorg/omnios-extra/pull/921

which made it into the OpenIndiana VirtualBox Guest Additions package:

system/virtualbox/virtualbox-additions

So the fix for your issue is to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions from the OpenIndiana pkg repo rather than the downloaded version from virtualbox.org.
