I've actually taken the 5.0.4 ports that Jung-uk Kim had created and made the fixes to them to make 5.0.16 compile with them. The only reason I have yet to submit the updated port is because virtualbox-ose-additions still doesn't compile and I haven't had a chance to fully fix that yet. I have no intention of taking over maintenance of the port, unless needed, but I do want to help get 5.x into the ports tree, so once I have all the ports compiling, I'll submit a PR to get the port updated.
