I rather to honor graphics/png (include PNG folks) and no way for graphics/apng as it will be worst to have conflict in ports tree. It's pain in ass. Keep in its tarball and compiles as static is fine. It's no big deal and problem solve. As for the security, well, Mozilla usually will release if there is hole. Of course, multi-port to update but it's better than conflicts in ports tree. The apng is very low use in applications, so again no problem either.
