I put them there because they are an additions to linux_base.

I think that things whose primary intention is to get some emulated
binaries to work should be in emulators/. Or in turn that everything
you need to get a Linux binary to work should be in emulators/

Whereas things in graphics/ should be those you install to do
something with them directly, i.e. by writing a program that needs
libraries. This is not usually the case for the Linux libs, especially
now that you can have FreeBSD binaries using Glide.

I apologize if that has just been discussed, I don't follow the ports
mailing list.

I don't feel strong about it, your decision.
