Yes, if you're running in linux emulation mode, and if you compile
kernel/world with COMPAT_LINUX_THREADS, and if your app is compiled
on a linux machine (or, if you can figure out how to do it, cross-compiled
for linux on a FreeBSD machine).

The question addressed some patches that allow a linuxthreads "port"
to run.  In other words, you want to compile a FreeBSD app, or a
port of a linux app, to run in FreeBSD native (no Linux emulation)
using the ported linux threads that also run in FreeBSD native.

The linux threads "port" is realistically just a 1-1 kernel pthread
implementation.  The idea is that some people might want a kernel
thread library, and this is a quick and easy way to get one.
