If you are using tumbleweed repo and you want to use also vbox,
basically you have two options :

1, (as John suggest)
remove old virtualbox provided by openSUSE
add repo provided by oracle
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.4/
and install vbox from oracle repo, kernel modules needed for proper
vbox run, will be built automatically

2,
add repo provided by openSUSE (vbox build against Tumbleweed):
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Virtualization%3AVirtualBox_Tumbleweed
and install vbox from it (kmp modules are already built here) ...

if you are interested why was vbox dropped from tumbleweed repo, read
this thread:
