If so, having a port > for Additins does not make sense IMHO? I'm not sure what you are trying to say but the vbox additions port is for FreeBSD guests only. That is required because the ISO is a big blob which does not support FreeBSD and probably never will. For Windows guests the ISO is your only choice and for Linux you sometimes have both choices depending on the distro.
