The question that seems to be relevant there is why the port refuses to install with some compat.linux.osrelease value ? Does port run some linux binary during install time (unlikely) ? I think the port should ignore even absence of the linux.ko; the value of the linux.osrelease is purely runtime issue as opposed to the install time.
