Thanks for the informative response, Kevin.
FWIW as most of the servers I manage use nVidia video; in anticipation
of installing the nvidia drivers, I always install the
emulators/linux_base-* port prior to the [nvidia] video driver, knowing
it's a prereq.
Under the circumstances (linux-base-* v [linux]ports); I wonder
what, or if some "standard" should be determined || applied?
Assuming one isn't already in place.
Thanks again, Kevin.

On my system /usr/compat/ was created by adding linproc and linsys to
/etc/fstab so that some Linux executables could run.
I believe that this was mentioned in the postinstall for a port that I
was installing (cirra FreeBSD 9.0). When I
was installing a new version of the same utility on 9.3 I saw the note
for adding linproc and checked /etc/fstab and found
I had /usr/compat/linux/proc as the path. I changed the path to
/compat and then started wondering when
the change occurred and if it was going to effect anything else, such as
the location of libraries that I needed to
add/modify for various linux utilities.
Note that the only thing in /usr/compat was /usr/compat/linux/proc.
Everything else seemed to get installed in /compat.
I just had a quick look at the current Ports files and it looks like
they all reference/use /compat/linux/proc
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
linsys /compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw 0 0
Note: just as a side note on this, shouldn't the location actually be
/usr/local/compat? But I digress...
