That was it!  Since I don't have Qt3, I previously thought it would be
good idea to explicitly tell the build script what I have and what I
don't.  But it seems that telling QT3=no is meant to disable GUI at all
(for headless environments).  In my case Qt4 GUI is still built, it's
just that GUI variable is not set in the SlackBuild, hence the missing
VirtualBox symlink.

I done some quick edits to the script, rebuilt, and now I can start
VirtualBox from command line or KMenu.

Thanks David and Heinz for the help!
