So I started my first build, went fairly smooth, just was confused in the beginning about what to download as the pre-requisites for windows. Little bit of reading and got that figured out.
The only other issue I had was even after updating to the Vista SDK, their appeared to be some vista related files missing. After googling the error message, I got a solution to add the following line into the .mozconfig file:
"ac_add_options --disable-vista-sdk-requirements"
after which the build went flawlessly.

My Firefox 3.0 build had the following ".mozconfig" file:

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
