Which releases are we talking about here? VirtualBox was always 
deprecating
older FreeBSD releases much faster than our Security EOL so if we focus 
on latest
8.x and >= 9.0 I think it should be okay.

We have already deprecated 7.x because of some other problems with the 
userland
bits so we can forget about 7.x completely. What is left is 8.1 and 8.2 
and both
are EOL until mid 2012. So if is possible to get it merged in time for 
8.3 and
9.1 (if needed) we should be fine.
