I have managed to completely uninstall virtualbox guest-additions, and now I
can login. After reinstalling guest-additions (the ones that come with
VirtualBox, because the package in community does not seem to work very
well, but this is another history), and some testing, I have discovered that
I can login if I disable gdm in rc.conf and call it from the command line.
