I think I have missed the debugging window: I just did a
cd ../../mail/thunderbird
make

and it went and installed gtk2, so once I return to firefox, it will 
already be there..

In fact, I originally did a "make update" in firefox, which deleted tiff
and therefore thunderbird, so maybe thunderbird was starting from a cleaner
slate..
