In defence of Gentoo specifically, Firefox has a -bin version for those who do
not feel like recompiling 'till the cows come home.  The same goes for
Thunderbird, Mozilla (the monolithic one), and OpenOffice.

In response to Francois' comment, the point of a ports tree (or Portage) is to
do the configuration and dependency checking for you.  It really doesn't tend
to fail.  (when it does, that's a bug, and it tends to get fixed promptly)
