ports/62993: PORT BUG: firefox-0.8_4 fails 'make install' with Error Code 2

[Jesse Guardiani]

I ran into this problem when I was trying to compile my Firefox two days ago too.

I'm running 5.2.1-RC2. Apparently sort and cpio don't exist as variables in the
root port makefile.

I fixed it with the following patch to the Firefox port's Makefile:
