For Linux, the distro Arch Linux does provide something comparable to
FreeBSD ports.

I've got both installed, FreeBSD and Arch Linux, for my needs Linux is
the better choice. What Linux disto the right choice is IMO depends to
the usage. For e.g. CNC or music productions and perhaps many other
things are special Linux distros available. For FreeBSD is also a
pre-build install available, called PC BSD, but the PC BSD community
seems to be very small, so I would test FreeBSD and not PC BSD. Take a
look at the FreeBSD and PC BSD mailing lists.
