Just for clarification and in case anyone else needs help with this,
the steps I followed in Virtualbox were as follows:
1. Create a new VM and select to add an existing disk image. I
navigated to the uncompressed file and selected it.
2. I then went into the properties of the VM and changed the
controller type to SCSI and readded the disk image.
Since I quickly realized I wanted more space to use as my
distfiles/portage server for my network, I then ran
3. VBoxManage clonehd /path/to/base-dist.vmdk /path/to/base-dist.vdi
--format VDI ; VBoxManage modifyhd /path/to/base-dist.vdi --resize
102400
4. I then went into the settings and selected the new image to have
the disk space available and partitioned the drive with the new space
set aside for /usr/portage/
