FIghting this problem too, was trying to build a vm from the current ISO. The previous poster's solution doesn't seem to apply cleanly for me - have quite a few more complaints, and then if proceed anyway, end up with a kernel/initrd combo that doesn't boot. Trying to build guest additions from the vbox sources (their iso) fails, as it quits claiming an unrecognized x11 version.

I am happy to report that the packages from the location listed above (https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/virtualbox-ppa/+packages) do let things work for me.
