I made an integrated copy of virtualbox-ose port with Daisuke's patches, called virtualbox-ose-vnc, adding libvncserver as a lib dependency. In order to use it : # pkg_delete virtualbox-ose # cd /usr/ports/emulators # tar vxyf http://old.nabble.com/file/p27396532/virtualbox-ose-vnc.3.1.2_1.tar.bz2 virtualbox-ose-vnc.3.1.2_1.tar.bz2 # cd virtualbox-ose-vnc # make install clean You can select any combination of options with it (X11 if you want to have the "VBoxSDL" binary, QT4 if you want to have the "VirtualBox" binary). I tested it with X11 and VNC Free Edition Stand-alone Viewer. If possible, it would be great to have Daisuke's patches integrated into the mainstream port.
