On i386 the idea is to install /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper but that doesn't work with amd64 yet. Some people on this list claimed to be able to run /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin9 in linux-opera or linux-firefox with linux_base-fc6, but the latter will only be available with upcoming FreeBSD 7.0 branch. So for FreeBSD 6.2 now only /usr/ports/swfdec-plugin or /usr/ports/graphics/gnash remain. Both are OpenSource projects and can display something like flash 4 files or just crash your browser.
