No, but I already wrote some patches for this, and added them to
devel/nspr.  I was just waiting for you to bug me before adding them to
mozilla itself ;-).

Yes.  The big challenge is to port the xpcom code to FreeBSD/ia64.  Take
a look at some of the Sparc64 patches in files/ to see what you're up
against.  This will require some ia64 assembly.  Fortunately, I think
there are already some Linux ports.

1.3.1 and 1.4b should be about the same.
