I ran "emerge virtualbox" and it failed complaining that it couldn't find libstdc++.a or the libstdc++ headers. I also made certain that I had libstdc++ emerged into my system: emerge --search libstdc Searching...

You do not have built gcc with USE=nocxx by chance?
GCC is built in a "standard" way. I haven't enabled 'nocxx' (given that UFED says not to change it unless you know what you are doing). Is this a requirement?
virtualbox is bound to gcc3 series upstream wise
