Marcus did the work in nspr, and here is the commit message.

Modified files:
   devel/nspr           Makefile
 Log:
 Work around the improperly defined libc stub for pthread_cond_wait(3)
 which exists in FreeBSD prior August 7, 2006.  Basically, on these
 versions of FreeBSD, we will call _pthread_cond_wait directly.  This
 isn't perfect, but it will alow Firefox 2.0 to work on 6.1 and 5.5 without
 people needing to patch libc.
