I basically used the existing PKGBUILDs for virtualbox-modules-svn and virtualbox-svn to make this, so the rest of the files are at those two links.
This downloads the binary version then builds the kernel module and then installs into /opt/virtualbox the same place the svn version installs to so remember to uninstall the svn version if it is installed. Don't forget to replace the _kernver with your kernel version (use command 'uname -r' to find it).
Before installing make sure you read and accept this license before hand: VirtualBox_PUEL
PKGBUILD:
pkgname=virtualbox-bin
pkgver=1.3.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="x86 virtualization product with high performance and nice features"
_kernver="2.6.20-ck1-ARCH"
url="http://www.virtualbox.org"
arch=(i686)
license=('custom')
depends=('qt' 'sdl' 'libidl2' 'libxslt' 'xalan-c' 'e2fsprogs')
conflicts=('virtualbox' 'virtualbox-modules')
install=virtualbox-bin.install
source=(http://virtualbox.org/download/${pkgver}/VirtualBox_${pkgver}_Linux_x86.run \
vboxbfe vboxmanage vboxsdl vboxsvc vditool virtualbox virtualbox.rules virtualbox.desktop)
