Making some progress, can start the GUI, but it doesn't display the 
proper characters.

The LD path needs to include VirtualBox as well:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/VirtualBox:/opt/pkg/lib

I went through the process to try to resolve all of the libraries which 
are missing.

I installed the following:
pkgin install libXrender
pkgin install libXfixes
pkgin install png
pkgin install freetype2
pkgin install fontconfig


This is where things get kind of dicey, because there are library 
mismatches.

so I created some links:

ln -s libX11.so libX11.so.4
ln -s libXt.so libXt.so.4
ln -s libXfixes.so libXfixes.so.1
ln -s libpng15.so libpng12.so.0

I am not sure if this is the show stopper, but it complains:

libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.35 but running with 1.5.12

The GUI displays a bunch of square characters, but it looks like the 
functionality is there, since I can click on the links where they should 
be.

Not a high priority, but would be fun to sort out.
