After reading 6th comment in (http://ivoras.sharanet.org/blog/tree/2009-05-06.virtualbox-on-freebsd.html) I visited FreeBSD website with wish to donate something for FreeBSD in general.
But in FreeBSD website there is only very little link in upper menu called "donation".
Generally I see big problem there, because everyone is admitting that developing needs some kind of donations/financial support, but there is little or no so called "marketing" about this problem.
I know FreeBSD users/system administrators who are willing to donate, but there is no clear message (like in Wikipedia early this year) in website, that this superb OS need donations to compete with big corporations backed linux versions.
For example - it's sad to accept fact that there still is no XEN support in FreeBSD, while everyone around (Solaris, tons of Linux distributions) have it.
Just my 2 cents.
