Just a little follow-up.

Those are the (manual) steps to get libipc compiled on FreeBSD/amd64,
assuming www/firefox3 is already installed:

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox3
# make configure
# make build

(Be patient, it takes some time)

# cd work/mozilla/extensions
# <now fetch libipc (ipc-latest.tar.gz) to /path/to/ipc-latest.zip>

(source of ipc-latest.tar.gz is
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=299132)

# tar -xvpf /path/to/ipc-latest.zip
# chown -R root:wheel ipc

(We now have /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/extensions/ipc)

# cd ipc <now: /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/extensions/ipc>
# ./makemake -r -o .
# gmake

(This will create libipc.so, ipc.xpt in:
  /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/dist/bin/components)

# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox3/work/mozilla/dist/bin/components
# cp -i libipc.so /usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/
# cp -i ipc.xpt /usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/

(There is no need to install firefox3 again. Only libipc.so and ipc.xpt count)

$ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/<the_firefox_profile>
$ touch .autoreg

(And restart firefox3). 

With that, firegpg add-on works flawlessly.

All this can probably be automated with a slave port of www/firefox3.

Thanks,
-cpghost.
