You could make a local port/package out of them and install them to linux_base (programs should install at least a wrapper in the FreeBSD native tree). This would be the cleanest solution.

We have some ports which conflict with linux devtools. You also want to chroot anyway when developing linux stuff on FreeBSD, else you may get some nasty problems. Picking up FreeBSD native stuff is one of them. Another problem is that the current linux base structure is intended to use parts of FreeBSD where possible (it relies on the fall through to FreeBSD native directories), which isn't given when doing a chroot into it. So I'm grateful we got the linux_dist ports for cross-development stuff, they solve some nasty issues in a nice way. Doing a linux_devtools update is a waste of time in my eyes, but you are free to do it. In case someone does it, please switch maintainer from emulation@ to something else.
