In my old GAs I just put everything under /usr/local and added
symlinks in the right places.  For X11 drivers you need to use the
matching versions.

usr/local/stand/amd64/7.0/modules/vboxguest
usr/local/stand/amd64/7.0/modules/vboxguest/vboxguest.kmod
usr/local/bin/VBoxClient
usr/local/bin/VBoxControl
usr/local/bin/VBoxService
usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxmouse_drv_110.so
usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv_110.so

stand/amd64/7.0/modules/vboxguest -> /usr/local/stand/amd64/7.0/modules/vboxguest
usr/X11R7/lib/modules/drivers/vboxmouse_drv.so -> /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxmouse_drv_110.so
usr/X11R7/lib/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so -> /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv_110.so
