And I don not finde any reference to VirtualBox under /etc/libvirt:

root@lynx:/usr/lib/python-exec(71)# find   /etc/libvirt -type f -exec grep VirtualBox {} \; -print
root@lynx:/usr/lib/python-exec(72)# 




I do not have any /usr/bin/kvm. I If I grep the files under /etc/libvirt/qemu
for kvm I get:

root@lynx:/usr/lib/python-exec(67)# grep /usr/bin/kvm /etc/libvirt/qemu/*
grep: /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks: Is a directory
/etc/libvirt/qemu/Sidux_iso.xml:    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
/etc/libvirt/qemu/Sidux_kvm_6GB.xml:    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
/etc/libvirt/qemu/Sidux_new_iso.xml:    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>

root@lynx:/usr/lib/python-exec(68)# grep /usr/bin/kvm /etc/libvirt/*
grep: /etc/libvirt/nwfilter: Is a directory
grep: /etc/libvirt/qemu: Is a directory
grep: /etc/libvirt/storage: Is a directory

From the app-emulation/qemu ebuild:

    if grep -qs '/usr/bin/qemu-kvm' "${EROOT}"/etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml; then
        eerror "The kvm/qemu-kvm wrappers no longer exist, but your libvirt"
        eerror "instances are still pointing to it.  Please update your"
        eerror "configs in /etc/libvirt/qemu/ to use the -enable-kvm flag"
        eerror "and the right system binary (e.g. qemu-system-x86_64)."
        die "update your virt configs to not use qemu-kvm"
