Ok, i find out the answer, giving out for future reference:
The package to install is libxul-dev. The problem is, it doesn't provide 
the mozilla-gtkmozembed or firefox-gtkmozembed .pc of
pkg-config configure is looking for. It instead gives you 
xulrunner-gtkmozembed. I added a check for xulrunner-gtkmozembed in
order to compile. The patch is available at bug 44921.
Tested and working with Debian etch & sid, Ubuntu Feisty & Hardy.

Some other packages are also able to compile with mozembed, such as 
iceape-dev (debian's seamonkey) or xulrunner-1.9-dev but
it segfaulted when run, even using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and 
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME tricks.

On sid and hardy it's not too strange if you get  an internal compiler 
error (gcc 4.2). Either downgrade to gcc-4.1 or upgrade to gcc-4.3
If you want to use a different one just for this, remember: 'make 
CC=gcc-4.3' is your friend.

In summary, the package dependencies for a php-gtk install with mozembed 
from a normal desktop install are: php5-cli php5-dev
libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxul-dev
