You need to be running a version of the OS with libmap support -- either 5.x, or recent 4.9-STABLE, or there are some patches against 4.9-RELEASE available, which might apply to earlier versions of the system. Just try installing the www/linuxpluginwrapper port -- it will tell you if your version of the OS is unsupported or not. Be sure to follow the instructions about setting up /etc/libmap.conf carefully. This lets you install both linux-flashplugin and acroread as browser plugins. Works nicely.
