Mozilla-firebird port question

>Hello! I am trying to add the package mozilla-firebird, the latest version, I guess. I downloaded the package mozilla-firebird-0.6.1_1.tgz from the www.freebsd.org/ports page (well, I followed the link to www first, of course...), and another package that was missing, obviously: nspr-4.3_2.tgz. Fine, I did " # pkg_add mozilla-firebird-0.6.1_1.tgz", which chugged along nicely, but complained; the output follows. When I tried to fire up the browser, nothing happened. No error, nothing. I guess this is due to the version conflicts that pkg_add complained about. Do I need to use a package *specifically* put together and pre-compiled for FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE so that the påackages don't end up in conflict? Should I take the full port? I really *would* like to use Mozilla-firebird, it's my favourite. Output of uname follows at the bottom of the page.
