I didn't keep a copy (Jordan: that's why I haven't gotten back to you
yet...). The main sticking point is the definition of these variables:
setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
And the creation of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls directory, since all of
the locale stuff has changed with X11R6. Ignore the extract if you
have XFree86 2.x instead of 3.x.
Here is a tar'd, gzip'ped, uuencode'd version. It is relatively pathed,
so you should be in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory when you extract it.

And here are the patches to 1.1.x to make netscape run on it:

] Netscape is such a cool must-have piece of software that I had to have
] it on my FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 system. If you've tried that, you may notice
] that the binary distribution of netscape for unknown-bsd almost works,
] but dumps core on a bad system call. It turns out that the bad system
] calls are stat() and fstat() which have new IDs under 4.4Lite. I have
] a very short patch to 1.x kernels that works around the problem.
]
] Here's what you have to do:
]
] 1. in /sys/kern :
] apply the patch
] make init_sysent.c (to rebuild the syscall table)
]
] 2. clean out kern object files from your compile directory :
]
] rm /sys/compile/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME/kern*.o
]
] 3. rebuild your kernel and reboot
]
] Now, if only I could get Netscape to quit complaining about undefined
] keysyms (yes, I read the documentation and MCOM's suggested fix doesn't
] work).
