Right now, No.

I think we need a work towards a Mozilla Runtime Environment (MRE_HOME), 
but, If we must do 'mozilla banding build', we need 'self contained builds'.

In any case, this is more complex that you can expect.  We need first 
some definitions over mozilla ports and a working plan before any of 
this can be taken.

But yes,  you may expect share not only npsr, but even gecko or netwerk 
between mozilla related apps after AVIARY-1.0 
(firefox-1.0/mozilla-1.7.5/thunderbird-1.0).
