If I have x11/gnome installed, and then proceed on to x11/gnome-fifth-toe, having cleaned out apx 2GB (a signifcant amount of data, even with today's drives) of expanded tarfiles and built sources from x11/gnome, before starting on gnome-fifth-toe, then the very first thing gnome-fifth-toe does is to build mozilla, having just, as the second-to-last item of x11/gnome, built mozilla previously, to get mozilla-embedded, for nautilus.
