fix the build with native-xtools

When using native-xtools, cross-building the port fails for libraries not
found:

ld: error: unable to find library -lplc4
ld: error: unable to find library -lplds4
ld: error: unable to find library -lnspr4

The port sets LIBRARY_PATH, and the linker seems to look there for libraries
automatically, but the one from native-xtools doesn't. Thanks to RhodiumToad
@#freebsd-ports for helping to analyze this!

The fix is to replace this with NSPR_LIB_DIR, which causes the build system to
add an explicit -L flag, see attached patch.

A few test builds with the change applied:
