VBox definitely works in zones. It installs a global zone SMF service,
VBoxService, to take care of loading the kernel modules since this can't
be done by a NGZ.

Ian,
I believe that you are correct in your comment about running VirtualBox
in a zone. Why I haven't attempted it myself, I believe that VirtualBox
will not work from a zone because VirtualBox needs to load kernel modules.
here is an example:
ultra20 /root 401 # modinfo | grep -i vbox
175 fffffffff85127f0 a88 345 1 vboxnet (VirtualBox NetAdp 3.1.4r57640)
177 fffffffff8682000 24de8 344 1 vboxdrv (VirtualBox HostDrv
3.1.4r57640)
250 fffffffff89e2000 6a20 346 1 vboxflt (VirtualBox NetDrv 3.1.4r57640)
250 fffffffff89e2000 6a20 - 1 vboxflt (VirtualBox NetMod 3.1.4r57640)
251 fffffffff89e9000 4598 347 1 vboxusbmon (VirtualBox USBMon
3.1.4r57640)
252 fffffffff89ee000 6de8 348 1 vboxusb (VirtualBox USB 3.1.4r57640)
ultra20 /root 402 # uname -a
SunOS ultra20 5.11 snv_130 i86pc i386 i86pc
ultra20 /root 403 #

I don't think you can install VirtualBox in a zone. If you are using
VirtualBox, you can use the same networking tricks to get isolation as
you would use for a zone.
