I am not sure you really need to upgrade mozilla.
"Old version" not always mean "problem".
However, it is _often_ problem when build of a port
fails due to it depends on an already installed port
that is _too_ old.
If you decide to upgrade installed application -
portupgrade utility is very helpful.

Probably some installed applications needed by OO are
absent or have a wrong version.
You could install or upgrade necessary port(s), or
force install as is if you are sure everything is ok.
