Virtualbox-ose has disappeared from the list of packages (e.g., http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:x86:64/latest/All/), and when I build from source (portsnap fetch, then make install), virtualbox complains about a version mismatch with the kernel and VMs don't run. > > Is this simply a timing thing as VirtualBox is updated to match recent 11.0 changes, or will there be a long term problem? > FreeBSD head r295983 introduced a problem, later solved in r296075, which caused building kernel modules from ports to fail. This has also been reported in bugzilla. [1] Unluckily the machines building ports for head have been updated to a revision affected by that problem, so the build for the port has failed. The package will be available again once the cluster machines are updated to a newer snapshot unaffected by this bug (I don't know how often those are updated). So it's definitely a short term problem, actually already solved in the repositories, which isn't virtualbox or ports fault either.
