Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

Maybe you should reread hier(7) manpage. Personally
I honestly think that FreeBSD's directory layout is the
most carefully thought through one of all. You can't
symlink binary files from /usr/X11R6 to /compat/linux
/usr/X11R6, because they are in different binary formats.

Also, please note that /usr/compat is just a temporary
solution, which exists until everybody recognizes the
total superiority of FreeBSD to other systems. 6.0
is starting the countdown towards FreeBSD 6.6.6,
which will conquer the world :-)
