You installed ports/devel/linux_devtools?

You shouldn't have to compile in Linux compat mode to get that to work;
our /dev/dsp is completely compatible with Linux's.  The only time you
really need to build a Linux binary should be if you have to link to
a library that you don't have the source to, or if you're
cross-compiling for a Linux target.
