Mark,

Two formats are usually provided for the contributed builds, pkgadd and 
tarball. You can choose either one for your convenience.

For pkgadd format, you need to run (as root):
% bunzip *pkg.bz2
% pkgadd -d *pkg

The binary will be installed to /opt/sfw directory. Then run 
/opt/sfw/bin/thunderbird as normal user should launch it.

For tarball format, you just need to run (normal user is fine):
% /usr/sfw/bin/gtar jxvf *.tar.bz2

Then run "./thunderbird/thunderbird" should start it.

Hope this helpful,
-Alfred
