No, you're confused, because you haven't read _carefully_ the whole! It was
about those Linux apps that can be compiled also under FreeBSD [so, 99% of
them], those apps whose authors does NOT e-mail you at FreeBSD to tell you
about their existance!

For instance, win32 apps [freeware/shareware] can easily be found at sites
like shareware.com, freewaresite.com, etc. etc.
Linux apps cam be found also at linuxapps.com and, of course, serching with
any search engine [y compris Yahoo] and finding, in various pages, that
someone did something "for Linux".

Now, for Linux there is at least one page [that is linuxapps.com] which is
trying to list Linux apps w. sources, apps that are NOT included in any
Linux distribution!!! So, not into FreeBSD/ports neither, presumedly!
Capito?
