linux.ko is the kernel module; you do need that, but for linux
emulation you also need linux(8).  Enabling it by default can be done
by setting linux_enable in rc.conf(5).

I'm not sure if you need the linux emulation running to install
linux_base, and if you do need it the port should probably start it by
itself, but it should be easy to check.
