VirtualBox needs to install device drivers. It can't be installed on a USB stick. The amount of room available is not an issue, at least not until you get to the stage of creating data (VMs).

Re: NEED HELP PORTABLE VB NOT WORKING!
VirtualBox on an OSX installation cannot be installed anywhere else except "/Applications/VirtualBox". Nowhere else.
This is due to the hardening security that has been implemented to avoid tampering with VirtualBox. It is hardcoded and cannot be changed. You can't even move it after installation, or even rename it. It will fail to launch.
