Edit /etc/make.conf, and add the following lines:

CFLAGS= -O -g -pipe
STRIP=

Then, edit mozilla's Makefile, and remove the --enable-strip line. 
Then, rebuild mozilla and galeon with the new CFLAGS.  When it crashes,
you should be able to gdb on the core:

gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/galeon-bin galeon-bin.core

At the (gdb) prompt, type "bt".  Send the trace.

You might try disabling Xft to see if it helps.
