If you're looking for the latest VirtualBox 6.0 packages, see VirtualBox 6.0 builds. Please also use version 6.0 if you need to run VMs with software virtualization, as this has been discontinued in 6.1. Version 6.0 will remain supported until July 2020.

If you're looking for the latest VirtualBox 5.2 packages, see VirtualBox 5.2 builds. Please also use version 5.2 if you still need support for 32-bit hosts, as this has been discontinued in 6.0. Version 5.2 will remain supported until July 2020.

So unless the information on that page is wrong, VirtualBox 5.x is already EOL. Should it's time for a VirtualBox 6.1 port?

Not updating it to the 6.1.x version only because www/phpvirtualbox still not yet add support of 6.0 branch is not a right thing, IMHO.

Well, I do care because I need it for things that aren’t supported by bhyve. But the version currently in ports works fine for me, even though it might be EOL.

Any attempts to port the 6.1.x version?
 
As far as I know this should be the official (if i can call it official) attempts to bring this into the ports. Unless someone has a hidden repo somewhere but I think even he would be willing to contribute to this bug.
