No wai! I hit this problem earlier today.
The problem is in Virtualbox -- the old version you're building the modules
of hasn't been updated for the change in data structure in the kernel (it's
related to a build option in the kernel, I believe). Running the
virtualbox{,-dkms} from wheezy-backports works just fine.
