The Apache License is BSD like, so you don't need to distribute the  
source (if I read it correctly). If in doubt, add the source RPM to  
the port too (like we do with the GPLed linux-stuff).

I hope you install into LINUXBASE (linux libs should go there) and not  
into LOCALBASE (you may get problems when FreeBSD native programs try  
to use linux libs which are installed into LOCALBASE).

Bye,
Alexander.
