He means there is "no repo" dedicated to F21.  So, the repo file....

[virtualbox]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - VirtualBox
baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc

Doesn't find vbox due to $releasever=21 and that directory doesn't exist.

Yes, one can simply download and install the most recent rpm which is VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.20_96996_fedora18-1
