Well, there is a PR about the case:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/122826
You may use a patch from this PR.

But I'm not sure if it will be committed (I'm not speaking
about f8
case). The thing is that linux_base-fc{5,6} and
linux_base-f7 were
ports to test FreeBSD with sysctl
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
and let the kernel development improve. Now the kernel
development
is close to switch to osrelease=2.6.16 by default at
CURRENT. And
only linux_base-f8 (or later) may become a default at
CURRENT and
later releases.

Note: almost all linuxolator changes where merged from
8-CURRENT to
7-STABLE. But I'm not sure if the default
compat.linux.osrelease is
ever changed to 7.x.

I am against ever switching to 2.6 on default in 7.x

I don't think it will hurt if the fix for fc6 is committed.
There are  
users out there which already use the experimental 2.6.16
support, and  
it would make their life easier.

That's a good question. I before we get some data how the
transition  
from 2.4 to 2.6 in -current works out or the users, we can
not give an  
answer.

Bye,
Alexander.
