Somehow your installation is buggy. Please make sure you are using
linux-base-8. Without further information about your environment I can
just suggest to do:
 - ls -1 /var/db/pkg | grep linux	# keep this info somehow
 - deinstall every of those ports
 - install skype (it should install linux_base-8 and some other linux
   ports) and make sure it runs
 - have a look at the list from the first step and look for those
   applications only which you absolutely know you want to run
 - install those linux apps (maybe the linux jdk or linux opera or
   whatever)

Bye,
Alexander.
