After updating the ports today and trying to rebuilding firefox, I see it 
trying to use the zlib module.

Commenting it out in work/mozilla/Makefile seems to work:

#ifndef MOZ_NATIVE_ZLIB
#tier_1_dirs    += modules/zlib
#endif

I only noticed, because my own www/mozilla/Makefile.common takes care to not 
even extract libbz2 and zlib modules:
