I'm not sure, but I think what you're searching for would be to
have VB "create" a NIC substitute for the FreeBSD guest OS. When
you said, you could reach network from out of the FreeBSD VB,
a virtual network adapter. Which interface did you use from
within FreeBSD?

As far as I know, there's no vbox (pseudo)interface driver in
FreeBSD, that's why the ifconfig create command returned an error.
