Yes, work.
I use it some time for tests but in new 1.5 vbox.
what version are you useing?

I have PC-BSD 1.4 running quite happily under VB 1.4beta (OS X host, Macbook) and VB 1.5 (Windows XP host). Installation was faultless and networking, sound, video etc. work fine on both hosts.
Problems? On OS X host, I can't get PC-BSD to mount USB memory sticks. It correctly identifies the device, but there's nothing I can do to access it. This also applies to Ubuntu 7.10 guest on the same host. USB memory sticks mount automatically under both guest OSs on the Windows host.
I like PC-BSD a lot - seems fast and stable, although KDE took a while to grow on me after using OS X and Gnome.
Cheers

I have the same issue with Virtualbox 1.5.4 on a Windows Vista host.
After a successful installation, a Guru Meditation appears when trying to run PC BSD 1.4.1.
Here are the VBox.png and the VBox.log like describe in Guru Meditation error message :

Can't get any of the FreeBSD 6.3 based distributions to work
I'm having the same problem as outlined above. I've tried
FreeBSD 6.3, 7.0, PC-BSD, and Desktop BSD 1.6, on a Ubuntu 7.10 host with VirtualBox 1.5.4.
All will install but all will
freeze during bootup (same error as in above post).
Really wish the new FreeBSD based distros would run on VirtualBox as I like it better than VMware workstation, but the BSDs will run on VMware so I'm stuck with using it for a while.

It looks like I bragged about my lovely installation of PC-BSD a little too soon. It broke on updating to PC-BSD 1.4.1.1 resulting in the same Guru Meditation errors reported by others. I have since tried installing 1.5 on the latest VB on both Mac and Windows hosts without success. The installation CD fails to boot very early on.
It's a shame - I have PC-BSD running on an old Toshiba notebook and it is really impressive.

Works for me
- Asus F3E notebook
- Fedora 10 -64bit
- VirtualBox 2.0.6
- PC-BSD 7.0.1 as guest (32bit)
Tried several setting, even reinstall 3 times ... no luck at beginning ...
Finally :
- At logon change to KDE (failsafe)
- Restart
- At boot choose #7 --> Run Display setup wizard
- Change display to 16 bit, res 1024x758, Vesa
Voila !!
It works ....
