No.  We only can build from mozilla.org 'blessed' sources. At last, for=20
offcicial builds. We can lost this, allthough not recomended.

The official way to get the sources is at
http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html

take a look into mozilla/client.mk. mozilla have different cvsroots for=20
projects (suite, browser, ...) and l10n.

If someone packs the sources in the l10n cvsroot, this build maybe=20
possible with 'official branding'.

To make an idea, take a look into:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/xpi/
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.1/linux-i686/xpi/

ALso, we may try to install this from .xpi.  Try to diff ${FAKEDIR} and=20
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME (${PREFIX}/lib/firefox) with and without the lang=20
component.

Installing an .xpi from a port really out of firefox can't be affected=20
by mozilla.org new licensing.
