What does 'uname -a' report?  What revision of
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8/Makefile do you have?  For some reason
this part doesn't seem to exist for you:

    # $FreeBSD: ports/emulators/linux_base-8/Makefile,v 1.104 2005/06/17 22:59:07 netchild Exp $
    ..
    .if (${ARCH} == "amd64")
    LATEST_LINK:=		${LATEST_LINK:C/linux/linux32/}
    ARCH=			i386
    FALLBACK_ELF_MIB=	kern.elf32.fallback_brand
    RPMFLAGS+=		--noscripts
    .else
