Firefox 2.0?

[Randall Wood]

Unfortunately, the Mozilla group WILL NOT SUPPORT building any of its  
products on Mac OS X without using Aqua, so every single mozilla  
application has to be severely hacked to make it build and/or run and/ 
or support linking against in an X11 environment.

If someone wants to make a new port, copying all the useful bits out  
of Fink's Firefox2 port is a good starting point.
