Basically you set ABI=64 in your mk.conf, which builds 64-bit packages, comment
that line to build 32-bit packages. Still, www/firefox has problems on Solaris,
I've submitted a bug report and patches many months ago, but nobody seems to be
interested in fixing those problems (I assume that because my PR is still open).
