I have mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta unmasked on my system. However, epiphany-2.16.0 requires =mozilla-firefox-1.5, which seems to result in a cycle of installing mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta* and then downgrading to mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.* and back again. Changing the RDEPEND line to >=mozilla-firefox-1.5 seems to fix this. Granted, mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta is masked for testing, but if I choose to unmask it for testing, should I have to modify additional ebuilds to be able to keep mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta on my system?
You should copy the ebuild in a local overlay and make the modifications yourself to test them out. It's far from being ready for Portage. But please do try it and let us know how it works.
I guess I should have made it more clear that I've already built epiphany-2.16.0 against mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta2. Sorry! For the record, copying the modified epiphany-2.16.0 ebuild to a local overlay and building it against mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta2 does work.

Note that once it is allowed to build with mozilla-firefox-2.0_whatever, spell checking functionality to epiphany should be possible to be added under USE=spell. firefox-1.5 gecko should be new enough for this, but the gecko SDK that it provides doesn't have the gecko spellchecking headers and libs. firefox-2.0 will itself include spellchecking support, so I'd hope for it to expose it in the SDK as well - I don't have 2.0_beta2 here myself, so can't check.
www-client/epiphany-2.16.0 works fine here (~x86) with www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0_rc1.
Mozilla Team, please remove the Firefox 2.0 Beta [1|2] packages from the tree. Thanks!
I can also confirm bulding against mozilla-firefox-2.0_rc1 works. Automatic marking of misspellings seems to work, but when I right click, nothing happens.
After building epiphany against mozilla-firefox-2.0_rc2, epiphany seems to be working fine
