 Yes it is broken after 64 bit linuxulator commit ( 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/393817 ). This commit includes 
update for www/linux-c6-qt47-webkit and x11-toolkits/linux-c6-qt47-x11 ports 
with overlooked dependency on pulseaudio linux libraries; this is why you got 
runtime error for skype4.
 The possible solution is to get revision 393816 of ports tree and install 
skype4 binary using this tree.

 I think that freebsd-emulation@ is better place to ask various questions 
related to net-im/skype4 port.
