Do you have linux-headers-amd64 installed ? If yes, it should have pulled linux-headers-3.14-amd64 and you should not have error messages about missing headers (or only temporarily during the upgrade).

It happens that you get some complaints during update of linux-image-3.14-kali1-amd64 because linux-headers-3.14-kali1-amd64 is often only upgraded afterwards. But once linux-headers-3.14-kali1-amd64 is installed, it should trigger /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms which does mostly the same than /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms.

So virtualbox-source is not really compatible with Linux 3.14, I confirmed it:

Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.14-kali1-amd64
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.14-kali1-amd64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.18/build/make.log for more information.

And then the log file says:

I imported virtualbox 4.3.10-dfsg-1~bpo70+1 from wheezy-backports together with gsoap 2.8.16-2~bpo70+1 to fix this issue.
