I see that in 5.0 there is one firebird package for mips but not in 4.0
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firebird
Maybe you can try to download the mips files for 5.0 and then try to install them with dpkg


To compile i would start with 2.1 http://www.firebirdnews.org/?p=1325

Another way is upgrade to debian stable , I don't know if it works on that device , could you ask on their support
