Well, right now you could only use the Oracle packages: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
virtualbox 5 final is currently only available for cauldron, the Mageia development version as the integration is pretty tedious.

I can try to run a rebuild under Mageia 5 and will let you know the results. Do you have an i586 or 64bit system?
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
