I spent considerable amount of time trying to get skype 2.0 working some time ago, and it never worked for me, I don't remember the exact problem(s), but I do remember that my opinion of both skype 2 and the port maintainer has not exactly increased ...
Note that for reasons unknown net/skype12 has IGNORE set if you're using FreeBSD 7, so remove that line:
IGNORE= Legacy version, Use net/skype

Yes, indeed. Skype2 and linux_base-fc6 are far away from a stable version. I've tried some other linux apps also - linux-realplayer and it crashesh just like skype2. It seems that the problem is in linux_base-fc6. Now I'm with linux_base-fc4 and skype12 as you suggested. In fact with the linux_base-fc4 port installed RealPlayer works fine.
Well it might not be skype2, but at least now I can chat with my friends on skype. Thanks!
