You're going to have to give some more information here. What version of
FreeBSD are you running? Where did you get the vnc package (e.g. CD-ROMs,
downloaded)?

These steps are unnecessary. vnc has always built natively on FreeBSD, and
does not require Linux emulation. ("LKM"? Are you running FreeBSD 2.2.X
perhaps?)

On FreeBSD 3.0 and newer, vncserver, vncviewer, et al. are ELF executables
because that is what the compiler chain outputs. :-)
I'd be really interested to hear your answers to my first two questions above.
I suspect that what's happened is that you're running FreeBSD 2.2.X, and you
tried to grab a vnc package that was built for FreeBSD 3.0 or newer. The
error messages you got, in this case, would be because 2.2.X only understands
ELF executablees in the context of Linux (other OSs too?) emulation.
As far as I know, the vnc port still compiles fine under 2.2.X, so if you need
vnc under an older FreeBSD, your best bet is probably to build the port
instead of just doing a pkg_add with the pre-compiled package.
Bruce.
