Walt,

I've had "write errors" while building packages via pkgsrc, too (on other 
packages, not firefox). I had enough space left on /usr, too.

I don't know about the cause for this problem, but for me, it helped often 
(always?) to do a "bmake install clean" again without doing a "bmake clean" 
before.
