Thanks to both of you. Fixing the code seems preferable to patching and
rebuilding llvm15, so I tried, but it made no difference, other than the
cast, but I may have truncated the error message too soon. Here is the
complete message after the patch:
/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod/work/VirtualBox-6.1.36/out/freebsd.amd64/release/bin/src/vboxdrv/freebsd/SUPDrv-freebsd.c:433:50:

parameter of type 'RTR3PTR' (aka 'unsigned long') [-Wint-conversion]
        if (RT_FAILURE(RTR0MemUserCopyFrom(&Hdr, (void *)(uintptr_t)pvUser,
sizeof(Hdr))))

Please understand that I am not a C programmer.  Looking at this leaves me
a bit lost.
