The port built fine on 7-stable, i386 and amd64 platforms.  I have been
building seamonkey-2 locally for a while, and all the patches I had to make
are already in this port, so that's good :)  Profiles import fine from older
seamonkeys, and I tested html5 video playback.

One note, though: the build will fail if you have the spidermonkey-1.7.0
port installed (you'll get a "variable or field 'js_TraceRuntimeNumberState'
declared void" error due to some headers it installs in /usr/local/include). 
I don't know if there's an updated spidermonkey or not, but it might be
useful to CONFLICT on 1.7.0 and older.
