 That corresponds to lang/gcc46 snapshot from September. While firefox
 should build fine with any (maintained) gcc version selectively
 upgrading ports is not really supported.

 base-gcc and clang (without -stdlib=libc++) use /usr/include/c++/4.2/new.
 gccXY from ports use /usr/local/lib/gccXY/include/c++/new which can
 be confirmed by looking at pointyhat packages e.g.,
 
   # same version as you're using
   $ tar tf gcc-4.6.4.20120831.tbz | fgrep c++/new
   lib/gcc46/include/c++/new
 
   # latest snapshot
   $ tar tf gcc-4.6.4.20130215.tbz | fgrep c++/new
   lib/gcc46/include/c++/new
