--- Comment #9 from me@janh.de ---
I have hit this problem, too.

For me, it is different than previous problems with kernel modules from por=
ts
after minor FreeBSD version updates: There were modules that would not load,
but very rarely an old module would lead to a panic.

I have vboxdrv_load=3D"YES" in /boot/loader.conf and I could not immediatel=
y tell
what caused the panic. Obviously, single user mode would not work, either, =
but
loading the old kernel did.

Having freebsd-update print a warning in the end to update ports with kernel
modules would not help in this case, either: The panic already happens after
installing the kernel and rebooting and you cannot even install the userlan=
d.
If there was such a warning, it would have to be with the first prompt for a
reboot. Rebuilding ports at that time would not be the best idea, either, s=
ince
the userland is still old. The message would have to tell you to disable
everything from ports in /boot/loader.conf, /etc/rc.conf|kld_list, and simi=
lar
places.

Besides emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod, I also had to rebuild x11/nvidia-dri=
ver,
but it was nicer: There was no crash, xorg simply would not start.
