Bug 277075: www/firefox: build failure on 14-STABLE

--- Description ---
After the update to version 123 www/firefox startedhaving build failures. The
relevant part of the build log is this:

Fortunately, the error messages reminded me of this recent bug report:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276542

Therefore I tried adding
	LDFLAGS+=	"-Wl,--undefined-version"
to the port Makefile, which resulted in a successful build.

As with the heimdal issue, I'm quite convinced while this does solve the
immediate issue (and therefore probably should be in the ports tree for the
time being), it just masks the underlying problem. As I'm not very familiar
with the code base but lacking spare time instead, I'll probably not
investigate this further on my own, but certainly can help with that, if
needed.
