I've seen this kind of behaviour with dialog4ports in various 
situations, but since dialog4ports-0.1.1 or so, I've never encountered 
this again.

Here's a few shots in the dark:

- Maybe you're running an outdated version of dialog4ports.  Remove 
dialog4ports, then make config in www/firefox again.  This will trigger 
installation of whatever the most recent version of dialog4ports is in 
your ports tree.
- Check your environment.  Unset DIALOG4PORTS or DIALOG, if they're set, 
then try make config again.
