I've just experienced much the same problem in FBSD 5.4
Eventually I discovered:
/usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/pkg-message
which I assume should have been displayed during installation
but which I didn't see.
Apparently you need to copy or add
/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD{whatever}
to /etc/libmap.conf
It worked for me, with mozilla but the doculantation with the
version of linuxpluginwrapper that I have installed saya there
is some further (unsolved) difficulty with firefox.
