Adding firefox from the URLs above will work the same for you as building it - just won't take as long. Why it's failing to build I don't know, but if we can just install the prebuilt binary, it'll get you what you want.
I thought my moused idea was it; I had to do it today when setting up a virtual install. I suppose trying my earlier idea of changing xorg.conf's mouse entry to ums0 or sysmouse may do it. It's probably already sysmouse. If you cd to /usr and type 'make', you will see all the options for getting new src or pkgsrc files.
