Maybe, it should be the port's option (or flavor?). Maybe, the port needs t= o be split into "common" part -- which does not depend on the kernel flags -- and the kernel-modules part, which needs to be built differently for PAE-kernel= s. At the very least, a load-time detection of PAE-kernel needs to be implemen= ted so the user gets an actionable hint as to what to do, instead of the incomprehensible "vgdrvFreeBSDAddIRQ failed" followed by "vboxguest0 attach returned 6". Not even Google knows, what to do about these, although my filing this tick= et may help :-) ...
