I just loaded up a sharepoint site with Mozilla Firebird. It's pretty usable, barring a few CSS anomalies.
There are a few things that won't work in Firebird.
One feature that doesn't work with Firebird is the DHTML-like drop down menu that accompanies the list of messages/calendar/tasks you create in sharepoint; these allow you to edit/delete an item without having to load a separate page to do so. It's a nice feature that sharepoint has included.
Also, there are modules that you can add to sharepoint which aren't usable unless you install add-ins that come with Office 2003. I'm thinking of an editable excel-like spreadsheet plug-in in particular. I'm afraid these Office-like features of sharepoint are where only an IE browser will work.

This would have been a great discussion, but you just had to mention Jesus.
back in my day we referred to it as a vicious cycle :)
