Thanks. The tips you gave me is definitely waaay more than I bargained 
for. :)

Thing is, I found a page in the DesktopBSD wiki that talks about making 
linux version of the flash plugin work with native Opera. It's here:

http://desktopbsd.net/wiki/doku.php?id=doc:browserplugins

The relevant part of the guide is as follows:

"native Opera9 with Flash

Opera 9 supports now Linux Flashplugin, so you can just install from ports,
portinstall opera
portinstall opera-linuxplugins
portinstall linux-flashplugin"


The ports are all there and they do install, but it doesn't work. I 
simply installed the linux-opera and it's all fine now.
