No, I hadn't. It doesn't bother me that the build or install
would have failed because I was running an old Xorg, but it
should not have blown away my existing Firefox install.

It looked like a portupgrade bug, but I didn't have the patience
to dig in and find it. I upgraded portupgrade, Xorg, and
successfully built a new Firefox 2.0.0.

Thanks for looking at it though.
