remove dependency on cdrtools

emulators/virtualbox-ose depends on sysutils/cdrtools to install makeisofs.

We could replace this dependency with in-base makefs that is capable to make
ISO images but it is not needed too. Its configure script says:

# Check for mkisofs, needed to build the CDROM image containing the additions

In fact, VirtualBox build system does NOT use make use of makeisofs while
building for FreeBSD as it does not try to buid

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/FreeBSD%20build%20instructions says in its
Prerequisites section:

mkisofs (required only for additions which aren't supported yet)
=> /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools 

So, we need just drop this unneeded dependency. It was introduced over 6 years
ago and was never really used:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emulators/virtualbox-ose/Makefile?revision=274444&view=markup

The patch fixing this is attached.
