Makefile:194: *** Error: KERN_DIR does not point to a directory.  Schluss.

Just install the precompiled binaries from their website - this is one of those cases where that is a lot easier. Here is a forum topic about it, with some added confusion from me:

Go here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
Choose "All distributions" for your architecture (x86_64 or i386).
You will get a bundle (name ends in .run).
Once it is downloaded type "sudo sh VirtualBox<something>run".
That's all there is to it.
