Assuming you have the linux_base and linux_devtools ports installed,
from your login prompt type: '/compat/linux/bin/bash'. This will switch
you to a Linux shell and subsequent calls to binaries will actually
run from /compat/linux/. Although I believe that if some binary is not
present under /compat/linux then it will call the FreeBSD utility which
may not work.

Hope that helps.
