If you're running 2.1.0-RELEASE, it's in the ports - the distfile tarball
is about 1M. 

If you do 'get linux_lib.tar.gz' in the ports/emulators directory on 
ftp.freebsd.org, this will automatically get you a tarball of the 
installation bit, which you can then untar in /usr/ports/emulators 
on your system.

ie
# cd /usr/ports/distfiles
# ftp ftp.freebsd.org
(login, etc here)

ftp> get linux_lib.tar.gz	(about 1M)

ftp> get linux_lib.tar.gz	(about 1k)
ftp> quit
# cd /usr/ports/emulators
# tar tvzf linux_lib.tar.gz
# make install

(I'm offline at the moment, so you'll need to fill in the appropriate
directory names).

Hope this helps
James
