please post lsmod

Do you have the vbox modules listed in /etc/conf/d/modules to autoload?
Did you recompile the vbox modules after upgrading vbox for the current
running kernel?

this will not work, that file does not exist on Gentoo.
It's probably a hard-coded vbox-ism that does not apply here

No man. A simple google search would have told you this is a
Debian/Ubuntu feature and has NOTHING to do with Gentoo.

It rebuilds modules on debian. The gentoo way is

emerge @module-rebuild

and you should see it build vbox modules
