new port virtualbox-ose-kmod with VIMAGE option set as default

VIMAGE-enabled kernels need a patched VirtualBox kernel module. Building VirtualBox can take several hours. It'd be great if there was a pre-built VBox-kmod package for VIMAGE-enabled kernels.

This port is just setting VIMAGE option so VIMAGE users can install VBox using "pkg install" and save time from building VBox on their own systems.

Thanks,
Nikos

Seems like a good idea to me!

VIMAGE is already set as default; https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod/Makefile?view=markup#l44
