You will have to install this software from the port. There are no packages available. I am not aware of any restriction in the www/linux-flashplugin6 port which would prevent you from installing it on a FreeBSD 5.3 system and many people are using this software, myself included, on FreeBSD 5.3. If you are having trouble installing from the port please post a complete and detailed error log of the build, something more than just "operating system not supported".
