If you have DKMS installed it will automatically update the modules when a new kernel
in installed. Works great for me.

From the doc referenced above.

Note: Users of Fedora/Mandriva might want to install the dkms package (not available on openSUSE) to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next kernel update.
