Well, thats what i had thought, but was put-off slightly by an earlier

P.S.

Finally, got a bit brave, changed make.conf and recompiled the packages.
The result is :
% splat mozilla-fire
* www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.17
Emerged at: Fri Oct 3 08:32:40 2008
Build time: 25 minutes, and 42 seconds
% splat xulr
* net-libs/xulrunner-1.8.1.18-r1
Emerged at: Thu Nov 20 14:10:04 2008
Build time: 17 minutes, and 27 seconds
