There are guest additions available but not officially supported. You can find them in the freebsd ports tree as emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Please also read http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox

You only need this if you really need one of the 4.1 guest additions features. They are compatible with newer guests.

The latest guest additions for 4.1.2 are availabe as cft too. But you also need to update devel/kBuild from the cft first.
