Fwiw, I am running virtualbox-ose-nox11-5.2.22 on FreeBSD 11.2 with (almost)
no issues. I installed virtualbox-ose-nox11 using pkg, then compiled
virtualbox-ose-kmod from ports (compiling kmod on the box was required about
a year ago or the system would crash at boot, and I follow the same
procedure after pkg upgrade).

I use phpvirtualbox for a UI, which reports an error if I try to snapshot
(so I don't snapshot). The only time vbox has crashed was once when I tried
running two vms, and I assumed it was due to insufficient memory or some
other system issue, and not virtualbox per se.
