Just last Sunday I asked the same question.
The answer I got was that you can't mix FreeBSD and Linux binaries.

A search on Google on +Flash + Konqueror +FreeBSD gave me this information:
-intall the linux-flash plugin from the ports. (the FreeBSD plugin is not 
properly maintained)
-don't use OpenMotif but lesstif (whatever this is, it's in the ports)
-people who cleamed it worked fine with them.

As far as I could see the discussions generally go along these lines:
-someone how to make it work
-someone else says do so and so, it works fine with me.
-the first person comes back saying: I did what you told me, but it still 
doesn't work.

My conclussion so far, it should be possible, but I didn't manage it.
Hope you have more luck.
