You can't use enigmail with thunderbird right now.

If you're trying this, you must tweak the enigmail build system to get a 
new extension compatible .xpi (I think this target is allready defined 
and documented).

After that, you may install the enigmail.xpi as user (try exec 
thunderbird file://<path-enigmail.xpi>).

Other build alternative must be tweak thunderbird build to get enigmail 
in the same run.  See how this is done for calendar in mozilla port.  
Remember also put the enigmail srcs in place after extract.

Also, I vote to merge enigmail builds with mozilla/thunderbird with a 
default disabled  controlling knob/option.

I'm afraid we can't work a ports based extension system until extension 
manager changes in firefox/thunderbird (1.1 target right now).
