Actually, it's epiphany port issue. I can try to fix it this evening  
unless someone beat me. Here is a problem:

www/epiphany/Makefile:
------------------------------
	@${REINPLACE_CMD} -e  
's|/lib/mozilla/plugins"|/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko18"|' \
		${WRKSRC}/embed/mozilla/mozilla-embed-single.cpp
------------------------------

It's hardcore, so need to add a check if it uses libxul then switch to  
gecko19. For now, Eric, you can edit by change from 'gecko18' to 'gecko19'  
then reinstall epiphany and let us know if it works for you. I won't be  
able to test it in runtime since I still have GNOME 2.24.2, old xorg and  
etc. But I still can test by 'make patch' and commit it.

Cheers,
Mezz
