Thanks for the idea. Running truss, I could see that linprocfs was  
indeed needed. After mounting that, I could successfully run the app.

I apologize for not giving any details about the app itself in my  
initial mail. I just didn't think it would be very helpful in this  
case. It's not something from ports, it is a rather specific app which  
is of interest only in my home country, and only during a week before  
elections. It is an electronic voting app that allows me to  
participate in elections from my home, using government-issued smart  
card.
