I recompiled firefox (2.0.0.11) to see what happens to firefox-config. 
Now it prints:
giamba at Giamba ~]firefox-config --cflags
-I/Programs/Firefox/2.0.0.11/include/firefox-2.0.0.11 
-I/Programs/NSPR/4.6.7/include/nspr

So even though /lib/pkgconfig/nspr.pc references /usr/include this does 
not fix the issue.
BTW now the icon of firefox disappeared from the KDE menu :(
