I can't reproduce this. Does it still happen in up-to-date karmic?
Seems to be a bug in dkms.

Installing the linux-headers package for specific kernel solves the configure-problem, in my case it was linux-headers-2.6.31-19-generic-pae. It seems, virtualbox-ose-source does not specify all dependencies, the package must depend also on linux-headers package.
