The freebsd-gnome mailing list, on which you asked your question.

The problem was that some of your ports were not up-to-date and the
version of firefox you are trying to compile needs newer version of
them. So it's a good practice to search the mailing lists and/or google
before asking.

Also, see the FAQ:
