--- Comment #2 from Don Lewis <truckman at FreeBSD.org> ---
I think this only fails on FreeBSD 8.  The reason is that FreeBSD 8 does not
have jemalloc in libc, so the firefox port builds its own internal copy of
jemalloc, and the configure step for that fails.  When I tested on FreeBSD 10,
the port seems to detect the presence of jemalloc and does not attempt to build
its own copy.

Interestingly i386 and amd64 fail differently.  On i386, bsd.port.mk sets
CONFIGURE_TARGET to i386-portbld-freebsd8.4, which does not match
i386-unknown-freebsd8.4, triggering a false detection of a crossbuild:

configuring in memory/jemalloc/src
running /bin/sh
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla-release/memory/jemalloc/src/configure
 --build=i386-portbld-freebsd8.4 --host=i386-unknown-freebsd8.4 ...

On amd64, bsd.gecko.mk overrides CONFIGURE_TARGET and sets it to
x86_64-unknown-freebsd8.4, which does not match amd64-unknown-freebsd8.4,
giving the same end result:

configuring in memory/jemalloc/src
running /bin/sh
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla-release/memory/jemalloc/src/configure
 --build=x86_64-unknown-freebsd8.4 --host=amd64-unknown-freebsd8.4 ...
