app-emulation/virtualbox-modules does not install vboxpci.ko here. I
guess the information in the wiki is outdated.

$ equery files app-emulation/virtualbox-modules | grep '\.ko$'
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1-x86_64/misc/vboxdrv.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1-x86_64/misc/vboxnetadp.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1-x86_64/misc/vboxnetflt.ko

Kind regards, tastytea

I have the same output:

# equery files app-emulation/virtualbox-modules | grep '\.ko$'
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1/misc/vboxdrv.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1/misc/vboxnetadp.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1/misc/vboxnetflt.ko

What is missing is in 5.4.80-gentoo-r1 is: vboxpci.ko

In my old kernel it was there:
/lib/modules/5.4.72-gentoo/misc/vboxpci.ko

Your old kernel could have it from an older installation of
virtualbox-modules, that module is no longer installed

% qlist virtualbox-modules
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1/misc/vboxnetflt.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1/misc/vboxnetadp.ko
/lib/modules/5.4.80-gentoo-r1/misc/vboxdrv.ko
/etc/modprobe.d/vboxdrv.conf
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf

And the virtualbox.conf file contains

vboxdrv
vboxnetflt
vboxnetadp

No mention of vboxpci.

Does VirtualBox work?

It seems to me this driver is no longer needed/used.

Yes, it works. Gentoo wiki did not get updated, in addition I was copying configuration from previous kernel that I just installed a month ago or so.
It is hard o catch all the changes during updates.

It was for incomplete PCI passthrough support, removed in 6.1.x:

From changelog:
"Linux host: Drop PCI passthrough, the current code is too incomplete
(cannot handle PCIe devices at all), i.e. not useful enough"

So being gone is normal.

It has nothing to do with your kernel config, the vbox* modules are
installed by virtualbox-modules. The vboxpci module you have was
installed with an older version of that package, possibly a year or so
ago.
