Linux emulation
The documentation for some of this seems to be non-existant. Forgive me beforehand for any mistakes.
Okay, I'm trying to instaall virtualbox on FreeBSD amd64. No luck with the build process. I've downloaded the 1.6.0 linux amd64 and did sh /path/to/file.run. Build stopped and asked for headers. Linux headers for freebsd? In ports or do I import? Do I Look for fc4 headers or 2.4.x headers relating to linux kernel emulation? Brandelf this file? kBuild broken due to changing file permissions but this is needed to build virtualbox. I need this to build any version and that is why I am mentioning it in this post. Force install or download from website?

You can't run the Linux VirtualBox on FreeBSD with just emulation. It relies on a kernel driver and all of that has to be ported over.
