/bin is before /usr/pkg/bin in $PATH, so that's not why. The reason appears to 
be that which is a BSD program, so it sees only the BSD programs in /bin, and 
bash isn't there. When Linux bash runs bash, however, it looks in /bin and 
finds itself. If I put /usr/pkg/bin before /bin, Linux bash finds BSD bash:

bash-3.00# PATH=/usr/pkg/bin:$PATH
bash-3.00# bash
bash-3.2#
