Am I missing something here? Would not a port come from the linux

I mean are ports basically unix? Yes, I know of the aqua branch of
ports.
Mac OS X is basically unix. However, given all the minor differences
between unix versions and linux versions, it is pretty much
impossible to build a complex application that really does not care
what variant of unix its running on. The aqua branch of ports is
irrelevant here. What is relevant is that the Mozilla developers will
drop in fixes for making things work on the Mac in Aqua by testing
"Are we on a mac?" not by testing "Are we building for aqua?"

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.

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).
