Why don't you use Sun VirtualBox whic can be installed with pacman -S or yaourt ?
Have the feeling you're making yr. life more difficult then needed.

I think you should just be able to rebuild the modules, and possibly reload them.

sudo vbox_build_module
sudo modprobe -r vboxdrv
sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Remove all you've installed so far and use pacman /yaourt for a fresh install.
