The gnash port reportedly works pretty well.

The linux-flashplugin port with nspluginwrapper worked really well for me
for a while -- then just randomly broke.

If you're not picky about watching them *in* the browser, you can always
just install the youtube_dl port, then use the youtube-dl script to
download YouTube videos to watch them in MPlayer.

There's a plugin for Firefox that allows you to use MPlayer within the
browser.  I haven't checked yet on whether that works for viewing YouTube
videos.

Last I checked, the linuxpluginwrapper didn't work worth a damn for Flash
support in Firefox.
