Thanks for your interest! The project was part of GSoC last year already and Oleksandr did make good progress with it but hasn't got it fully working. Li-Wen Hsu took over his work and fixed a few things and also put it on github: https://github.com/lwhsu/freebsd-vboxfs So right now the best technical contact is Li-Wen Hsu and I guess he can also tell you what is blocking progress right now and if it's still a viable GSoC project. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
