opera from pkgsrc needs 32bit linux compat libraries... but 64bit
compat libraries were installed instead ??

njoly@lanfeust [~]> file /usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/lib/opera/9.10-20061214.1/opera
/usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/lib/opera/9.10-20061214.1/opera: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

It seems that ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM variable does not work as
expected. For now, it is restricted to NetBSD/i386, but
Makefile.common include extends the platform list.

pkgsrc/www/opera/Makefile:
ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=      NetBSD-*-i386 SunOS-*-sparc FreeBSD-*-i386 \
			DragonFly-*-i386

pkgsrc/emulators/suse100_linux/Makefile.common:
ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM+=     NetBSD-[2-9]*-i386 NetBSD-3.99*-x86_64 \
                        NetBSD-[2-9]*-powerpc \
                        NetBSD-[4-9]*-x86_64 FreeBSD-*-i386 \
                        DragonFly-*-i386

Unfortunately, pkgsrc miss 32bit compat linux packages for now :-(
I'd love to have them already, but i lack time to do more than small
experiments.
