>Description:
www/firefox-bin-realplayer requires a file named 'rpnp.so' to work as intended. The file should probably be installed by multimedia/RealPlayerGold - a dependency package for firefox-bin-realplayer; the firefox-bin-realplayer package makes just a symlink to this file. The installed symlink is broken, 'rpnp.so' is nowhere in the filesystem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install www/firefox-bin-realplayer and look at the installed files.
>Fix:
I don't know how to make a nice package out of the following, but someone certainly does (per-user setup):

1) install as root www/firefox-bin and multimedia/RealPlayerGold
2)

$ mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
$ cd ~/.mozilla/plugins && ln -s /usr/pkg/lib/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.* ./
$ export PATH=/usr/pkg/lib/RealPlayer:$PATH
$ export HELIX_LIBS=/usr/pkg/lib/RealPlayer

3) now it should work ...
