You have snipped out my previous comment. I said:

------------------------
It looks like Opera now required glibc 2.4, which is available in f8 but  
dunno about f6. I will have to uninstall all of my linux_* ports and test  
it with linux_base-f6 to see if it will working. For I can edit the  
USE_LINUX in the Makefile by change from 'yes' to '6', '7' or else what it  
required.
------------------------

It means: I just found out linux-opera now required glibc 2.4, so I am  
working on it to make the change of version requirement correct.

Yes, since you have FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE.

Not that I know of.

See in the /usr/ports/UPDATING at 20090401 and 20070327 sections for how  
to upgrade.
