If you use linux-flashlugin with www/linuxpluginwrapper,
then you don't need the linux emulation at all (neither
linux-base nor the kernel module).

However, if you use linux-flashplugin natively (with a
linux browser), then both are required.  In fact, I think
you also need x11/linux-xorg-libs (because the plugin is
linked against libs from that port), even though it is not
listed as a dependency.  Maybe that's a bug, or maybe I
haven't looked closely enough.  :-)
