Hi,

I am not sure what you are complaining about.
On the one side, it seems that you want to build things yourself and to
have everything up-to-date and you upgrade every day.
On the other side it seems that you would like to have things not
updated so you don't have to rebuild things every day.

If you absolutely want to upgrade every day by yourself, then, well, you
have to expect to rebuild things, large and small two days in a row once
in a while...

Use binary packages, there, I fixed the rebuild every day problem you
have.

Then you say that if virtualbox gets an update, you need to restart
your virtual machines, and that it is a problem.
Well, it is only a problem if you have the absolute need to upgrade as
soon as possible.
And in that case, it is your problem.
Most of the time, the virtualbox updates are not critical security
issues and they can be planned on your side for when it is convenient
for you.

In any way, nobody forces you to upgrade as soon as there is an update
of a port, but in the same way, nothing is going to force the rest of us
to not commit to ports because it is inconvenient for you...
