If you wish to have an official implementation, you should use the Linux 
compatibility mode plugin. However, if you want an open source, 
cross-platform, native plugin, you can use the unofficial (not made by 
Macromedia) implementation, which can be installed automatically with 
portinstall flashplayer (make sure your ports are up to date)
