Okay, finally, I have done at least this much. The attached update to
the five ports is mostly about switching to the www/mozilla MODULE,
thanks to your patch for bundled nss. It also brings us up to TBB
5.5. Tested on amd64 with whatever the latest snapshot was on 5 Feb
(don't recall now, don't have amd64 handy ATM :-()

The @CONFIG_GUESS@ token in .mozconfig does not seem to get s///'ed
correctly by autoconf. I don't have my build machine available right
now but I seem to recall that firefox-esr doesn't ship with a
.mozconfig file, but Tor browser does... could be wrong. When I get
my buildbox back I'll look at this again. I'm guessing that this hack
and the other post-extract sed hack for baseconfig.mk can be sussed
out and turned into patches for upstream instead.

Done.

This is tor-browser.desktop now. The profiles.ini file is
unfortunately necessary given the way I pre-populate ~/.tor-browser
but if there's a better way... this is just how they do it in the
bundle.

I finally just grokked in fullness what you were saying here (sorry, a
bit slow). Given that I already have a start-tor-browser shell script
in place to set things up we could instead switch to having .xpi files
in distribution/extensions (or wherever) and unpack them when
~/.tor-browser is populated. I'm sorry I didn't get to it before now,
maybe the rest of what I've done can be critiqued and I'll make this
change and test it when I get my buildbox back.

I'd really like those opinions, too, if they're out there...
There are packages for amd64 available for testing:
