desktop menu -> system -> Virtualbox builder
this tool will let you create latest Vbox/vbox guest modules. ofc 05-devel.xzm is needed.

I have manual run the VirtualBox-4.2.16-86992-Linux_amd64.run file and build the xzm module.
Reboot my system and activate the virtualbox module. But received this warning:-
Code: Select all
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.9.11-porteus) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

just tried and got working module.
make sure you have 05-devel.xzm activated and internet connection (if not building from a local .run file).
