Mozilla doesn't actually depend on devel/nspr.  It installs its own
libnspr:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  196232 Jun 30 23:58
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla-gtk2/libnspr4.so

However, if you have devel/nspr installed, galeon and epiphnay will link
against it, thus preventing you from uninstalling the package.  I think
there's a better alternative to requiring nspr in Mozilla.  I can create
symlinks in ${MOZILLA_HOME} that symlink the .so's to .so.1's.  That
should solve the problem.
