    He is talking 4.11-release, from the ISO, not 4.11-stable. 4.11-release
    most definitely will not compile Firefox unless you use the original
    firefox 1.0 code, which has a security hole in it. If you cvsup the
    ports tree, it will update the firefox port to a later version of firefox
    that will definitely not link in with the X libraries installed off the
    4.11-release ISO.
