Hmmm!!! Thanks for this report. Unfortunately, I do not use the
virtualbox-source package for my needs. I instead rely on the dkms
package, which seems to work (as shown below), and the same was also
reported by other users.

rrs at zan:/var/tmp$ sudo dkms build -m virtualbox -v 4.3.2 -k 3.11-2-amd64

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area....
make KERNELRELEASE=3.11-2-amd64 -C /lib/modules/3.11-2-amd64/build
M=/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.3.2/build...........
cleaning build area....

DKMS: build completed.

You can use the dkms package for now, until one of us fixes it.
