The update was incomplete as SeaMonkey 2.28 still lacks any distfile.
So, I've created a branch with vulnerable 2.26.1 in anticipation of 2.26.2.
To merge it do something like the following.

  $ svn co https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/firefox31
  $ (cd firefox31; for d in */*/files; do rm -rf /usr/ports/$d; done)
  $ rsync -aC firefox31/ /usr/ports/

There's also Gecko_ChangeLog to use as a template for commit message.
It lists important changes apart from port updates.
