Deja vu--just posted about this in the newsgroup.  I upgraded to
linux-mozilla 1.1 yesterday on the notebook.  Here's the trick:

Install linux-sun-jdk13 and portupgrade.

Make sure you're still running linux_base-6, or install it from the
port.

Install linux-mozilla 1.1.

Run pkgdb -F.  When it comes to linux-mozilla, it'll helpfully ask you
if you'd like to point the dependencies at linux_base-6.  Say yes.
