The difficulty, if I understand the context at all, is: what happens
when a new user installs emulator ports from sysinstall?  (I can tell
you the answer without even trying: it falls over after she fills up
the root partition.)

So, while I agree that David's solution is not the correct one, I
would also suggest that something needs to be done to solve the
problem.  (I.e., we should install a /compat symlink to *somewhere* by
default.)
