It seems it is. pkg-install of the linux_base-f10 has following code:
case "$2" in
PRE-INSTALL)
if [ "`/sbin/sysctl -n compat.linux.osrelease`"x = "x" ]; then
echo 'linuxulator is not (kld)loaded, exiting'
exit 1
fi
if [ -z "`kldstat -v | grep -E 'linux(aout|elf)'`" ]; then
echo 'Linux mode is not enabled.'
echo 'Loading linux kernel module now...'
if ! kldload linux; then
echo 'The linux kernel module could not be loaded.'
echo 'Please enable linux mode manually and retry.'
exit 1
fi
fi
;;
This is exactly where it failed in my case. See logs in my first
email. Firstly it's failed on running sysctl, then it printed out the
'linuxulator is not (kld)loaded, exiting' error message:
sysctl: unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease': No such file or directory
linuxulator is not (kld)loaded, exiting
pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed
And it happens before the linux kernel module is loaded. Maybe this
order is wrong?

Does it have the same problem?
