AFAICS, the RpmFusion package uses akmod not DKMS to build the kernel 
module(s).

With kmod you have two options either install kmod-VirtualBox which has 
pre-built kernel modules in which case you'll have to wait for the 
package to get updated to get the modules for the updated kernel; or 
install akmod-VirtualBox which should build the module at boot, of 
course the build can fail and require a patch... etc.
