Sorry, no, I am not that much of a developer to desearch or fix that ;)

I hope to integrate at least some of those fixes I apply to vboxconfig.sh script so I no longer have to edit the package in order to update it along with usbfilter and illumos-compatible networking drivers. 

Egoism and laziness are great drivers of progress, ain't they? Well, and good-heartesness helps too ;)
