No, you can create and configure VirtualBox VMs using the command-line VBoxManage. I do this over SSH. See the VirtualBox manual (PDF). Incidentally it's possible to use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to connect and control any VirtualBox guest - including OSes that don't natively support RDP connections - provided VRDP is enabled for that guest VM. I do this running when VirtualBox on a Linux host, and can't confirm it works for FreeBSD hosts, but assume it does.
