Basically, you start by checking in /var/cache/pkg to find the pkg tarball of the version of VirtualBox you want. There may be several with the correct package version: ox-dell39:/var/cache/pkg:% ls -l virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 88492156 Aug 6 00:57 virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1-24f6bbc275.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 88470756 Aug 16 05:07 virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1-3508613e60.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 88492848 Aug 13 01:57 virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1-971aa33e9e.txz lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 38 Aug 20 11:55 virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1.txz@ -> virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1-3508613e60.txz Choose the most recent one -- these are just where the package has been rebuilt because of changes in the packages it depends on. You'll need to use pkg info -fF pkg-name.txz and check that you have all the right dependencies installed. If so, then you can pkg delete your current version of VirtualBox and then use pkg add pkgname.txz to reinstall from the pkg tarball. No guarantees that this process will produce a usable result though. Try at your own risk.
