Unfortunately, the Mozilla group WILL NOT SUPPORT building any of its products on Mac OS X without using Aqua, so every single mozilla application has to be severely hacked to make it build and/or run and/ or support linking against in an X11 environment.

If someone wants to make a new port, copying all the useful bits out of Fink's Firefox2 port is a good starting point.

Why wouldn't we want to just update firefox-x11 to 2.0.0.3?

I would personally not mind it. Problem is, the current firefox- x11 does not work (at least on Intel Macs, it is an issue somebody is working on as
far as I know) and the same goes for 2.0.0.x.  SO just updating the
version won't solve anything. I am certainly hoping that firefox- x11 will be available, this is currently my most significant usability issue (I am
using Mac OS firefox but Aqua does not play well with my X11 window
manager so I would be ecstatic to have an X11 application instead).
