Heh, yes.  Ok, let me be sure I'm clear in my explanation. 

As this is the STABLE list, it might be redundant to mention that this
is all on what was 5.3 and is now 5.4-PRERELEASE

I install native firefox and native java, jdk14  (which requires, 
during the build, the linux-sun-jdk14 though that can be deleted
afterwards.)

If I then install /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper, it installs the
linux-flash plugin, linux_base-8, linux-realplayer and some other linux
things.  

After that, if one looks in
/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper, one sees libmap.conf files
for FreeBSD4.x, FreeBSD5-current and FreeBSD5-stable.  If one copies the
suggested lines to /etc/libmap.conf, flash and realplayer will work, as
well as pdf's opening with acroread.  

Java is a separate issue--if one installs java before installing
firefox, firefox finds it on its own.  If you install java after
installing firefox then you often have to create a symlink.
