graphics/png is now required to be built with APNG option turned ON.
But if you *really* don't want add the following to Makefile.local

  USE_MOZILLA += -png

and firefox would use bundled libpng-1.5.9 with apng patch applied.

FWIW, pkgng does track options but there is no *.mk magic to take
advantage of this yet.

  $ tar xOf png-1.5.12.txz --include +MANIFEST | fgrep -i opt
  options: {APNG: on}
