So I guess that's the fundamental difference between linux-base installed to 
/compat/linux, and linux-dist?

So when I build my Linux installation, then I suppose I can mount that 
partition and chroot into it?

Even as nonroot?  Even run X Window applications?

I think on some platforms, chroot is root-only, but running

ls -l /usr/sbin/chroot in FreeBSD 9.0-RC2

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  7736 Nov 22 11:08 /usr/sbin/chroot
