You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

can someone please put me on the right direction?
Thanks a lot,

As root, or via sudo, just install kernel devel:
sudo yum install kernel-devel
and then run
sudo service vboxdrv setup
and that should then build the vbox driver and install it.
I am not sure what had done in the past to get
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64
You or someone had probably booted kernel 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64
and then installed
kernel-devel.
Good luck.
