yes, for now that's the right workaround, the backport of 138 to
7.7-stable today will work around that even more.

the issue is that since there are backports, the same version was
installed via 7.6-stable, so pkg_add doesnt 'update' to the same version
available in 7.7-release.

Technically this shouldnt be a big deal and not prevent firefox from
starting, but this release cycle a major shlib bump was forgotten on
icu, hence the 'undefined symbol' people are seeing.
