Probably, but I'm not 100% sure I follow. Let me try:
- These are patches to the virtualbox sources.
- The changes are not intended to be used when building virtualbox to
run on on non-NetBSD systems in order to be a hypervisor.
- The changes are intended to be used to build guest drivers for
NetBSD using NetBSD as a build host, for later installation as
programs into a NetBSD guest.
If that's right, then the question is whether there is a package already
for guest drivers, and these patches should be carried as patchfiles for
that, or if a new guest drivers package is needed.
I do see wip/virtualbox-ose, but that seems to be about the hypervisor,
not guest drivers.
