Curious. When I upgraded from 13.0 to 13.1 virtualbox-ose stopped running. =
I upgraded virtualbox-ose using pkg a while later (2022-07-19) and found a =
note in dmesg reporting the kmod wouldn't load due to a kernel version mism=
atch. I installed the kernel source tree and make installed virtualbox-ose-=
kmod from the ports tree to resolve the issue.=20

These were the best references I found explaining how and why pkgs are buil=
t against 13.0 after 13.1 is released until 13.0 is EOL:=20
