You should be able to install both ports at once.

Dunno. It looks like all your linux binaries got branded to the wrong
type (svr4 instead of Linux), so the svr4 layer grabbed them first if
it was loaded. Try this:
find /compat/linux -type f -perm +a+x -ls | xargs brandelf -t Linux
, which should rebrand all the Linux binaries to Linux. It shouldn't
be necessary though.
