I couldn't sleep, so I quickly modified Makefile. It can build with  
epiphany and yelp so far in my test. Here's what I did:

Updated patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/firefox.diff

Please let me know if it looks good to you, then I can add in MC's  
ports-stable. I will ask my team to review too, since it's not normal for  
me to work with any of gecko-based browser ports.

Cheers,
Mezz
