8.02?  The latest thing I can find in the ports collection is
linux-opera-8.01.20050615_2

It runs just great for me; much better than 8.0 did.
libX11.so.6 is a standard X library, but linux-opera needs the linux 
version of the library.  It sounds like you may need to work on getting 
your linux compatibility working.  That's the trickiest part of the 
process.
