Regardless of intent, updates to port based modules can and and will break
when the kernel is updated. lsof breaks quite often, as well. It touches
things in the kernel that are intended for internal use only, so that is to
be expected. I can't say that virtualbox-ose-kmod has had to be rebuilt
because I put it into PORTS_MODULES a couple of years ago after having it
fail on several occasions. Every time it gets broken again thee are lots of
threads in STABLE like this one.

It would be nice if this could be fixed, but it is the case.
