It seems like you have a custom kernel with MODULES_OVERRIDE set in
your configuration file? Otherwise, the linux module should be on your
system where kldload is looking for it. Try editing your configuration
file and adding linux to MODULES_OVERRIDE. Then recompile your kernel.
Specifics can be found in the FreeBSD Handbook available at:

Good luck
