I don't know for sure, but looking through the Makefile for OOo, it 
doesn't look like it.  The way I understand it, OOo doesn't build the 
www/mozilla port (e.g. mozilla is not a depency of OOo). Looking at the 
Makefile for OOo, it looks like it specifially fetches and builds an old 
version of Mozilla (1.0), so I'd really think that setting 
WITH_MOZILLA=firefox wouldn't have any effect.  There doesn't seem to be 
any place in the Makefile that it would check for this.

Somebody who REALLY knows the answer probably should give the exact 
answer, but I'd feel guilt about not responding if I didn't at least 
offer my observations.  :)

Also, OT, but sorry about the botched subject heading in the original 
reply.  My bad.
