I'm not sure why the "echo elf" is not happening. However, changing
line 68 to read "MOZ_OBJFORMAT := elf" causes everything to build
just fine.
FWIW, the man page for objformat on FreeBSD 6.3 says:
==========
DESCRIPTION
This program is obsolete and is now just a compatibility stub.
It reports the object file format as ``elf''.
HISTORY
The objformat command appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.
The objformat program was deprecated in FreeBSD 4.0 and reduced to a com-
patibility stub in FreeBSD 5.0. It will be completely removed before the
next release.
==========
That says to me that you can do the replacement I did above with
complete impunity in a future version of NSS. Do you need me to
submit a bug report for this or do you want to do it yourself?

Let me know if you need access to one. OTOH, if you have a virtual
server somewhere, FreeBSD installs just fine and is quite easy to set
up.
