It may be that they need their dependencies (BUILD_DEPENDS, RUN_DEPENDS, etc.) changed to reflect the new version of Firefox. Of course, that assumes that FF3 provides the same requirements that FF2 did for each specific port. Please post the port names back here, and I'll take a look at the various Makefiles.
