Just get some binaries and put them wherever you want. Shared libraries
must go in /compat/linux/lib or /compat/linux/usr/lib.

If you want something REALLY fun, try making a Linux from Scratch system
on FBSD. You'll need to make two cross-compilers first: one
build = FreeBSD host = FreeBSD target = Linux
and one
build = FreeBSD host = Linux target = Linux
(Linux emulation)
Not for the faint of heart. (I couldn't do this, so maybe this is all wrong).

For sane people, no tarballs, just binaries. :-)
But yes, just put the programs wherever you want.
But they must be branded:
$ brandelf -f 3 myprog
