I understood Dports to be based on FreeBSD ports tree. Since FreeBSD
ports has the emulators/virtualbox-ose package I assumed Dports would
as well. I cannot seem to find it. I am running DragonflyBSD as a
guest on a Linux host and suspect I need the guest additions to make
thinks like mouse integration work properly.

I don't use this software, but I tried to look this up. DeltaPorts
says for [emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions](https://github.com/Drago
nFlyBSD/DeltaPorts/blob/master/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-
additions/Makefile.DragonFly),

    IGNORE=     FreeBSD-specific (and requires 32-bit support)

FreeBSD's [emulators/virtualbox-ose-
additions](https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emulators/virtualbox-
ose-additions/) includes 2 kernel modules (vboxguest.ko and
vboxvfs.ko). It might be more difficult to port kernel modules to
DragonFly.
