I investigated the logging and discovered the dkms.conf file.
It contains everything that the logging is complaining that it doesn't have:

--log error --
dkms.conf: Error! No 'DEST_MODULE_LOCATION' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_NAME' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_VERSION' directive specified.
---------------

---- from dkms.conf --
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/kernel/misc
PACKAGE_NAME=vboxdrv
PACKAGE_VERSION=3.2.6
----------------------------

so why is dkms throwing errors when the information it is searching for is clearly available??
