This doesn't really matter, it will make things easier for Linux users too.

2) Linux LibC's are builtin on the linuxbase packages, of course. No devel/linux-glibc2.4 available...
I know, but you can create one, as long as it doesn't conflict with the existing linux-base ports ...

3) I should try using linuxbase-fc8 and see what happens or take an example of a port requiring libc > 2.3.6, if I can find one (googleearth?)
That's always a good idea, no need to reinvent the wheel.

However, running
% find /usr/ports -type d -and -name linux-\* -exec grep -H glibc "{}/Makefile" \;
Doesn't seem to turn up anything ...
