Not here.

  # ls -l /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VirtualBox
  ls: cannot access '/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VirtualBox': No such file or

Maybe the reason can be found here:

  # equery u virtualbox | cat
  +additions
  +alsa
  -doc
  -extensions
  -headless
  -java
  +opengl
  +pam
  -pulseaudio
  -python
  +python_targets_python2_7
  -qt4
  +sdk
  +udev
  -vboxwebsrv
  -vnc
