It shouldn't depend on gtk2, but the version in ports still includes NPAPI plugin support, which needs gtk2.
 
btw, I have Xwayland disabled completely on all my machines, Firefox works fine, the only thing that breaks without Xwayland is WebGL (some tests for the presence of GL are still only done using X, it is known and hopefully will be fixed soon). (But, compositing acceleration works, it's independent of that.)

I would not be surprised if that outdated version of Xw we have in ports is causing extra problems that people don't see on Linux..
 
there is xwayland 1.20 in some branch of ports on the FreeBSDDesktop GitHub, you could try that
