I have been running Vbox on my gentoo box for a while now and I have never had any issues with it. Though recently I made the upgrade to KDE 4.4.2 and rebooted the machine to load into the new KDE as well as apply an unrelated kernel change. Upon rebooting, when I try to load vbox it fails. I receive this error:
Code:

harrisj@thrace ~ $ vboxgtk
Traceback (most recent call last):

Just a thought, but with the kernel change, does rebuilding app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-3.1.6 help?

If that is the problem, look at using something like:
Code:
sys-kernel/module-rebuild
     Available versions:  0.5 ~0.6
     Installed versions:  0.5(07:48:42 PM 03/21/2010)
     Homepage:            http://www.gentoo.org/
     Description:         A utility to rebuild any kernel modules which you have installed


It doesn't do in automagically (that I know of) but running it after each kernel update / change makes it easy to avoid kernel module gotchas.
