At Joe's suggestion, I killed the upgrade, then hunted down and killed
the firebird-bin process (required kill -9).

Then cd'ed to /usr/ports/www/firebird, did a make install, it hung
again, rebooted to make sure I was starting from a clean slate,
cd'ed to /usr/ports/www/firebird and did a make install and this time
it make completed (though I'm not sure it actually worked...)

Now I'm running a 'gnome-upgrade.sh -restart' and we'll see how things
go.

I'm not sure that the firebird thing actually finished right, but
hopefully I can go back and straighten it out.
