Although unfortunately I was NOT able to install guest additions, I just thought I should mention that, contrary to the
Guest OSs page, PC-BSD does indeed work under Virtual Box... KDE and all. The only caveat being that I needed to increase RAM and HD sizes to the minimum hardware requirements as posted on the
PC-BSD Guide, or the install DVD would endlessly reboot.

Just tried PC-BSD 8.0 RC2 off of full DVD ISO. VM hangs on a time of day warning. Looks like something that it should fall through, but never does. RAM bumped up to 512MB and 20GB partition, but otherwise a stock VM. VBox 3.1.4 on Vista x64.

You might want to increase VB system RAM to at least 1 Gig, Depends of course on whether or not your host system can spare that much RAM when running Vista 64-bit mode.

The Guest Additions won't work because the script itself (autorun.sh) is looking for Linux of Sun Solaris as part of the uname parameter. PC-BSD doesn't all into that category.

They do exist for FreeBSD (and, by extension, for PC-BSD), but are not part of standard build of VirtualBox.
FreeBSD community have them somewhere on their servers. Maybe it is worth asking them... ?

Folks,
just to make it easy for you
If you have pc-bsd installed inv virtualbox (in my case it's pc-bsd 8.0), and you get the first-time kd4 screen where you can select the driver, resolution and depth, there is another tab "advanced settings". This gives you the option to specify h- and vsync properties. For virtualbox, just tick the checkbox, go back to the other tab, choose your resolution, test it and you are done
This will spare you the trouble of a manual configuration file.
