I had the exact same issue you're having, though I'm using VirtualBox
5.2.8.

What I noticed, while looking at the output you provided and
the same command results on my system, is that although the package
is installed, the actual _drv.so files that are supposed to be
part of the package are missing!

I'm going to guess the same thing is true on your system.  You
can verify that by trying

 	sudo pkg verify -v x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video-vboxvideo

pkg verify detected the missing files for me.  I then did a

 	sudo pkg fix -v x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video-vboxvideo

and it fixed the issue, because a subsequent "pkg verify" no longer
detected missing files.

After fixing that package and rebooting the guest, it loaded the
vboxvideo_drv.so from xorg-video-vboxvideo and gave me additional screen
size options.

When I re-loaded the Guest Additions, I still got the errors about
the Guest Additions not having xboxvideo-drv-119.so, so the install
still shows as partially failed.  The blog post linked above
doesn't actually say it, but it makes sense that that's "normal".
The Guest Additions are still useful for the *other* drivers and
integration they provide, but the actual video driver now comes from
the base OS packages, rather than the Guest Additions.

There might even be a way to fake out the Guest Additions (by copying
the base OS _drv.so to the name that the Guest Additions is expecting),
but it's probably not worth it.

Hopefully 'pkg verify' and 'pkg fix' has the same results for you.
