Well "don't work" is quite short :)

Last time I checked it, the procedure given in the Handbook worked and
should work again.
Another way to install Flash is

# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7
# make install clean

Be sure to select "NSPLUG  Install nspluginwrapper (for native browser use)"
option.

Then once everything is installed do as normal user:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
