Replying to [comment:11 ryandesign@…]:
> The bitness of your kernel is irrelevant to everything except what
bitness of kernel extensions you can run. Apple produced years worth of
64-bit Intel Macs that boot to a 32-bit kernel, which again is no
detriment to being able to run 64-bit software on those machines.
What I wrote here is true, but I failed to realize that:
1. virtualbox includes kernel extensions, and
2. virtualbox's configure script runs `uname -m` to determine whether
your kernel is 32-bit or 64-bit, and adopts the same architecture when
building the rest of virtualbox
This is not a behavior I believe we have encountered before in MacPorts so
we don't have anything prepared for dealing with it, but I'll see what I
can do.
