In /etc/modprobe.conf.d/foo.conf add
  blacklist kvm
if it's being loaded by hand, or
  install kvm /bin/false
if it's being autoloaded.  Then reboot.
That should prevent the kvm module being loaded.

(From memory -- path and module name may be wrong.
It's *not* /etc/modules.)

PS: vbox is stinky poo that's only useful for yukky GUI stuff.
kvm is much better.
