OK. I think we need to update freetype2 in base. I compiled and
installed freetype2-2.11.1 and firefox-95.0.1nb1 rendered the
coloured emojis with no issues--just the same as in FreeBSD:

1. tar -xf freetype-2.11.1.tar.xz
2. mkdir build-freetype-2.11.1/; cd build-freetype-2.11.1/
3. ../freetype-2.11.1/configure --prefix=/tmp/ft
4. gmake; gmake install
5. cd /tmp/ft/lib
6. ln -s libfreetype.so.24.1 libfreetype.so.19	# XXX: gross hack
7. env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/ft/lib firefox

Compiling emacs against the latest Freetype2 should work (the
symlink hack just caused my emacs to crash--no surprise there).
