IIRC, there are at least 2 kernel modules. One for the VM itself and the other for the network stack for the VM. I would try rebooting and see if it loads after a reboot.

[pkraus at host2 ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf 
hostname="host2”
<snip>
vboxnet_enable="YES"
[pkraus at host2 ~]$ kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
 1   19 0xffffffff80200000 1323408  kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff81524000 2084f8   zfs.ko
 3    2 0xffffffff8172d000 5c68     opensolaris.ko
 4    3 0xffffffff81734000 5b120    vboxdrv.ko
 5    2 0xffffffff81812000 2d0d     vboxnetflt.ko
 6    2 0xffffffff81815000 87b2     netgraph.ko
 7    1 0xffffffff8181e000 1579     ng_ether.ko
 8    1 0xffffffff81820000 4046     vboxnetadp.ko
[pkraus at host2 ~]$ 

I see three vbox modules. FreeBSD 9.1 and

[pkraus at host2 ~]$ VBoxManage --version
4.2.12_OSEr84980
[pkraus at host2 ~]$
