You can use the rpmfusion [1] repository.

You will need to install the required drivers. In Fedora 11, the
following are installed for a 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 kernel:

$ rpm -qa | grep dkms
dkms-2.0.21.1-2.fc11.noarch

$ rpm -qa | grep VirtualBox
VirtualBox-OSE-kmodsrc-3.0.4-3.fc11.i586
VirtualBox-OSE-guest-3.0.4-3.fc11.i586
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE-2.2.4-1.fc11.1.i686
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.0.4-2.fc11.6.i586
VirtualBox-OSE-3.0.4-3.fc11.i586
akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.0.4-2.fc11.i686
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586-3.0.4-2.fc11.6.i586

$ rpm -qa | grep kmod
akmods-0.3.6-3.fc11.noarch
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE-2.2.4-1.fc11.1.i686
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.0.4-2.fc11.6.i586
kmodtool-1-18.fc11.noarch
akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.0.4-2.fc11.i686
kmod-wl-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE-5.10.91.9-3.fc11.i686
libmikmod-3.2.0-5.beta2.fc11.i586
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586-3.0.4-2.fc11.6.i586

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-headers-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586
kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
kernel-PAE-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686
kerneloops-0.12-5.fc11.i586
kernel-firmware-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.noarch
kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686

You will need to reboot to the respective kernel.

$ lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetadp             68696  0
vboxnetflt             74488  0
vboxdrv               104640  1 vboxnetflt

Please make sure you install the relevant packages.
