But wouldn't this be a bit better?

virtualbox-guest-additions -> virtualbox-additions-archlinux ('guest'
not important; shall be implied by description)
  desc: "Additions for Arch Linux guests (userspace tools)"

virtualbox-guest-modules -> virtualbox-modules-archlinux (as above)
  desc: "Additions for Arch Linux guests (kernel modules)"

At least the latter one is Arch Linux specific, because it requires
kernel26 (_kernver=2.6.36-ARCH in the PKGBUILD) and installs the
modules only for this kernel.
