Are any of you Tumbleweed users using VirtualBox successfully while keeping
up to date? If so, which repo?

I just installed VirtualBox from the RPM offered on their homepage, not a
single problem with it. As it's an RPM, it's nicely installable using zypper.
Only drawback is that you have to keep track of newer versions yourself since
they don't have a repo for openSUSE (at least not that I know of).

When I was running 4.0.6, zypper dup proposed an update to 4.0.8 which installed and is running. That was before the current conflicts problem.
# cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/virtualbox.repo
[virtualbox]
name=VirtualBox for openSUSE 11.4
baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.4
type=yum
enabled=1
priority=120
autorefresh=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/orac
