From bsd.port.mk:

# USE_LINUX		- Set to yes to say the port needs the default linux base
                                  port.
#				  Set to value <X>, if the port needs emulators/linux_base-<X>.
#				  If set to "7", a dependency is registered to
		                  emulators/linux_base.
#				  Implies appropriate settings for STRIP and STRIP_CMD.

Cheers,

Beech
