This is what you should have gotten:

[root at utd65257 /usr/ports/www/firefox3]# make
===>  firefox-3.0.13,1 has known vulnerabilities:
=> mozilla -- multiple vulnerabilities.
   Reference: 
<http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/49e8f2ee-8147-11de-a994-0030843d3802.html>
=> Please update your ports tree and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/firefox3.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/firefox3.

I don't know why you got the error you did, but you're not going to be able to 
build Firefox right now anyway, unless you're willing to make 
-DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES.

Try make distclean and then make again.  You should get the vulnerability 
notice.
