Well, last time I tried to compile one of Firefox's
recent versions from ports, it demanded to have
access to X during the "make" stage. That was the
point I decided _not_ to continue (as the system
in question didn't have X). Maybe I did something
wrong, maybe I should have dealt with building
options more carefully. But anyway, you type "make"
and the intended web browser wants to access X?

On the other hand, installing google's Chromium
browser went through without that kind of annoying
trouble.
