That's mostly correct, except you actually don't need to create a package to have the .app directory, it's there directly after the build. (IIRC) With that being said, mach didn't exist at the time of Firefox 3.0.11, and I'm not sure how things were for mac builds back then, but I can only guess they were pretty similar (as in, I don't think things have significantly changed on that front in the past 6.5 years (that's how old Firefox 3.0.11 is), or 7.5 years (that's how old the first Firefox 3.0 is)).
