I'd be happy to do that. Is the following correct?
The UI and rendering libraries that were part of the
mozilla-firefox 2.x package have been split from the mozilla
firefox-3.x package and are now in the xulrunner package. In
order for ebuilds to use xulrunner instead of mozilla-firefox
2.x, the "firefox" USE flag must be replaced by the
"xulrunner" USE flag. Failure to replace the "firefox" USE
flag with the "xulrunner" USE flag will result in portage
requiring mozilla-firefox 2.x which is incompatible with
mozilla-firefox 3.x -- this will block some packages from
building.
It's kinda wordy.
How about:
With Firefox 3 the "firefox" USE flag has become "xulrunner".
Failure
to change your USE flags will result in portage requiring mozilla-
firefox
2.x which is incompatible with mozilla-firefox 3.x and will block

Stroller.
