I'd like to know more about those ports as well.

As fair as I understand the documentation, everything should be
installed in the default PREFIX (usually /usr/local). At least, that's
what I did recently for the biology/linux-foldingathome port, which
works nicely with our Linux compatibility layer. Only infrastructure
packages (such as libraries) should be installed under /compat/linux.
It would be great, however, to learn more from people who worked more
with ports utilizing Linuxulator.
