The following reply was made to PR ports/138872; it has been noted by GNATS.

 Still broken for me, I'm afraid.  I had uninstalled firefox2
 before I installed libxul, but this weekend I uninstalled
 firefox3, and removed (I think) all trace of foxes from my
 system, then reinstalled libxul and epiphany and it still breaks
 as per the original bug submission.  I even moved my .mozilla
 directory aside: no change.
 
 Looking forward to webkit-gtk2 in 2.28...

Other possibilities come to mind. seamonkey and thunderbird. Old copies
of these include old gecko header files. The other is some old header
that is still hanging around the system. These can be hard to track
down...very hard.

The only real answer is to remove all ports, delete everything in
/usr/local, and reinstall. This is not hard, but VERY time consuming. At
over 1000 ports installed on my laptop and it being an old 2 GHz
uniprocessor, it can take quite a while.

I, too, am looking forward to 2.28 and all that comes with it, but I am
resigned to having issues with the upgrade. Gnome is just so big and
complex that it is hard to make an upgrade go completely smoothly for
every system.
