Follow the instructions in the Handbook, there are more
steps involved than just installing a package:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html

See 7.2.1.2.

The mentioned page works for me (FreeBSD 8.2, Opera 11.50,
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.3r183.5), so it should also work
with today's software. :-)
