Hi, I don't have a rational for this. I can explain what I did. 
Portaudit said there's a vulnerability in Firefox 5, so I did a make in 
/usr/ports/www/firefox (from within gnome). And it stopped somewhere at 
'hg not found' or similiar, so I blindly installed mercurial and hit 
make again; and make install, and all went fine after doing that. 
Afterwards I though this was a bit strange and decided to send a mail to 
ports@. Don't know what really happened though, hence the '*seems*' .

This evening I removed /usr/ports/ completely and mecurial. Did a 
portsnap and tried to make firefox, resulting in similar errors: like hg 
not found, repeated twice, followed by a sed error about a missing file. 
I lost the raw output though since switching between gnome and console 
does not recover gnome properly while I had the output there...

So currently I have not something useful to add, building again from 
console, but don't dare to switch, at the moment.

Regards,
Jeroen
