For one thing:

-FALLBACK_ELF_MIB=  kern.fallback_elf_brand
+FALLBACK_ELF_MIB=  kern.elf32.fallback_brand

Is not conditional on "amd64" -- which means the port would break on
FreeBSD 4.x.  Since the scripts aren't run, you have to do manual fixup
of your /compat/linux tree.  Commitable patches desired. :-)
