Is XYZ platform that difficult to port to? You can't complain when a company makes a product for 3 platforms but not a 4th. Normally applications aren't that hard to port to FreeBSD once they're working on Linux, but I'm not sure if this is true of virtualization software. On Linux it does require vboxdrv kernel modules.
It is open source. Wait around for someone to do it, or do it yourself. Then again, if you do it yourself and release it to Sun, it doesn't mean that it will be supported. Just like GIMP has been ported to Windows but isn't supported.
