It should be... It failed for me when I tried building against  
3.11.9... of course maybe that was when I was building 3.1b3... I  
don't remember... /shrug

I still don't know why nss isn't building for some people.  In the  
mean time, you can hopefully install firefox-x11-devel.  It's not  
building on intel because of an annoying API bug... but I'll hopefully  
have a fix for that soon (see the xorg-devel mailing list if you are  
masochistic about the X11 header hell).
