You can build most of the ports that depend on GECKO with the following
in your `/etc/make.conf' file:

    WITH_GECKO=         libxul

I just finished rebuilding my packages in a chroot with this option, and
firefox 2.x was not required for a full x11/gnome2 build:

# pkg_info | fgrep firefo
firefox-3.5.3,1     Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
