Since bsd.port.mk 1.505, USE_LINUX adds a dependency on a particular linux_base port and setting it to "yes" selects the Red Hat 8 one. It isn't necessary here because acroread depends upon other Linux ports. > emulators/linux_base-8 does have a pkg-install script that loads the > linux kernel compatability layer.

I haven't heard of any problems from this arrangement, and as Joerg said, if the Linux ABI is disabled after linux_base is installed, the user must have disabled it. -- Trevor Johnson
