When virtualbox packages are released they will install on a running system without requiring a reboot.

However since pkg image-update creates a new BE I get a bonus reboot. Would it be possible for packages that can be installed in the live system to install there. By all means create a new BE just in case but just install in the live BE thus saving a reboot?

This has been discussed, but be aware that you don't have to image-update to update specific packages on your system.

If you want to update a specific package just do something like:

pfexec pkg install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 ...

That will "install" the newest version that can be installed for your current system of the indicated packages.
