(In reply to John Smith from comment #4)
The problem is that pkg manages all the packages, including the linux ones.
Installing linux compatibility layer base port means putting stuff into
/compat/linux.

Adding more stuff with yum means that pkg won't know about this. You're going
to have problems when removing the compatibility layer, since pkg will get
confused about leftover files in /compat/linux.

When you also install some ports which will require dependencies from ports,
there's a possibility there will be a file conflict - binaries installed with
yum will conflict with the ones from ports.

All in all, doing what you say would require deorbiting linux compatibility
layer from ports and managing it only by yum. That will require some work,
which is currently deemed unnecessary.
