Hello,

At this point, I haven't upgraded my kernel past 2.6.25 yet since I want
to be able to fall back on VMWare if VirtualBox didn't work out.  Since
VirtualBox is still new and the unstable version available through
portage was much newer than the stable version, I decided to install the
unstable version (2.0.6).

Because the stable version is 1.x, it might be worth a shot because of the significant version bump. None of the 2.x versions have been removed from ~-status. If the unstable version doesn't work out, assuming the stable version meets your requirements, I'd give it a try.

One other option is to log into #gentoo-vbox and talk to the guys there and see what's up.

Hope you find some success,
Ryan
