OPTIONS= APNG "Animated PNG support" On
That should be the default. Anyway, you can always check which
options had been in use when building and installing a port:
% cat /var/db/ports/png/options
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for png-1.4.8
_OPTIONS_READ=png-1.4.8
WITH_APNG=true
In this example you can see that it has been properly installed.

Sadly the Firefox build error message is not included.

I'm sure this entry of /usr/ports/UPDATING applies:
20120531:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/png
AUTHOR: din...@freebsd.org
The PNG library has been updated to version 1.5.10. Please rebuild all
ports that depend on it.
I built Firefox 14 a couple of days ago and png installed is now version
1.5.12. So an updated ports tree should incorporate that change now shouldn't
it.
true, but from what i have been able to sniff out on my own, ports
configuration data are stored in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports
tree, so that if png has been installed already & you do a "make showconfig"
in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the data are read from files in /usr/local/include,
& if you run "make config" in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the files affected by
any change are in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports tree.
this has been a learning experience for me & prolly will continue to be as
others here correct me.

it's happened already: in another post here, polytropon gives a more central
role to /var/db/ports/png/options. if i understand him correctly, "make
showconfig" executed in /usr/ports/graphics/png reads from that file.
changes made through "make config" change both that file & files in
/usr/local/include & subdirectories thereof.
please correct me if i'm wrong.
