While i havn't yet built Virtualbox under tqt3 i have had no trouble running Virtualbox in any previous release using qt3. Virtualbox is released alongside our official release (Porteus).
Are you saying that more recent versions of VirtualBox can be built against Qt3? I was under the impression that after version 2.2.4 or thereabouts only Qt4 could be used.
Fishing through the ebuild shows that QT4 is definitely optional (switch --disable-qt4). However, I'm not sure what kind of GUI, if any, you'd get without it—the other deps specified for a non-QT4, non-headless build don't include a widget set, just SDL, OpenGL, and some X libs. An SDL-based GUI is possible, I suppose, but it's a bit peculiar.
