I'm running swfdec-plugin from ports; no linux crap.  Used to be
dated, but they've had some recent upgrades, and it seems to work for
most everything for me - give it a try...search recent emails to
questions at freebsd.org, however, as the plugin gets stuck stupidly in a
subfolder of /usr/local/lib/plugins (or whereever), and I had to make
a link to the main folder for it to work.  Also, had to run firefox3
to get any plugins to work...
