Not true.  The FreeBSD ports have been modified to respected FreeBSD's
LOCALBASE and X11BASE.

This file isn't installed by any FreeBSD port.  Mozilla will install a
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/applications/mozilla.desktop if you configure it
with the right option.  Of course, per my previous emails, all of the
browsers in FreeBSD can automatically install menu entries under
Applications->Internet.
