The following fix was provided by someone on the ports list.

cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod/files &&
rm patch-src_VBox_HostDrivers_Support_freebsd_Makefile
patch-src_VBox_HostDrivers_VBoxNetAdp_freebsd_Makefile
patch-src_VBox_HostDrivers_VBoxNetFlt_freebsd_Makefile
and start the update again

VBox upgrade completed successfully.
