Correct. On FreeBSD, many administrators install the linux compatibility package, which results in libdl binaries being available under /usr/compat/linux/lib. I am guessing these should be usable as long as the system administrator has configured the kernel with linux support.
However, when building new software, one generally doesn't try pointing into /usr/compat/linux/* unless it's absolutely necessary. It's probably safest to just steer clear of the dependency.
