you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+
+ emulators/virtualbox-ose has been updated to 6.1.18. This new
+ version only works on amd64 hardware.
+
+ Previous version 5.x of the virtualbox ports have been preserved
+ as emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy and similarly named ports for
+ the other parts.
+
+ If you can't run the latest version or wish to stay with the old
+ version, please install the legacy ports.
+
+ Also the additions at present build successfully only for amd64.
+ If you need i386 additions you can fallback to the old legacy
+ ones.
+
+ NOTE: There is no support for moving saved running machine states
+ across major updates of virtualbox. It is recommended to properly
+ shutdown all virtual machines before upgrading. Otherwise the saved
+ state can simply be discarded after the upgrade, if it's not
+ important to preserve it.
+
+ It should also be possible to downgrade to the legacy ports and
+ shutdown the machine properly from the saved state and then upgrade
+ back again.
