Humm.. I think Michael has a misunderstanding.
This problem isn't installation (pkg-plist, hier(7)), but
is nspluginscan looking up a (some?) plugin directory as
${X11BASE}/lib/browser_plugins. Therefore unbreak hier(7).

I hope that nspluginscan looks up ${X11BASE}/lib/brower_plugins
like a /usr/local/netscape/plugins, /opt/mozilla/plugins.
If this is OK, konqueror will be able to use Linux version
Flash6 plugin with seamless by flashpluginwrapper and
/etc/libmap.conf. Just like FreeBSD native version Flash6
plugin.
