I've tried with and without the virtualbox-ose-additions port but my problem is more fundamental than drifting time. Those "calcru" warnings should not occur, no matter whether you have the additions running or not. At a very low level, my 10-current client is getting such bad time information it cannot track time even approximately, and none of the settings I've tried make it stable. Do you have any well behaved FreeBSD virtual box clients? Are any of them running 10-current? My experience with virtual FreeBSD clients so far has been FreeBSD 8 on ESXi 4, and that has worked fine.
