Andrew,

How did you sequence the re-builds? I'd guess that gimp-app was re-built
after the gimp metaport, so the metaport retained the dependency.

If you have portupgrade, I would suggest 'portupgrade -rfx firefox
firefox'. portupgrade works by building a dependency graph of the needed
ports and builds te tree from the root. This should get rid of all but a
handful of ports.

It looks like everything in the list should rebuild without the firefox
dependency. I had every one of them. I'm now down to just
mplayerplug-in because it fails to build against libxul.
