I'm a little bit reluctant to mark all those ports broken for this reason. ;-) The reason is: while I don't know a good reason why someone would do this, I don't expect that I know all reasons. If someone is doing something like this and installs a linux base port, then he either knows exactly what he is doing, or he has absolutely no clue what he is doing. In the former case I don't want to put obstacles into the way, in the later case you will never have enough obstacles to cover all cases. In all the years since I feel responsible for the basic architecture of the linux_base ports, I never got a report about someone having a problem related to this (or at least I don't remember a report... ;-) ).
