Nothing should be written to both /etc/make.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf.
All should be OK for 8.0 with just defaults.

OK, I see. Then remove all linux applications (i.e. skype,
acroread, linux-realplayer, etc.) by pkg_delete <app_mane>.
Then remove all linux infrastructure ports by pkg_delete 'linux-*'.
Unmount all linux filesystems (linsysfs, linprocfs) and delete
linux base port by pkg_delete -f linux_base<you_have>. To be on
a safe side clean /compat/linux. Remove any linux remnants from
/etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/make.conf.

Then just install linux-realpalyer (or any other linux application
from ports). Mount linux filesystems if needed. Your linux apps
should just work. HTH
