So basically, right now FreeBSD "does not have" (I know, it's not part
of FreeBSD) a working version of Netscape4x?

Does that mean that 4.3-RELEASE will neither ship with a binary package
of Netscape4x or/neither a working stub i /usr/ports/www?

Yes, there is always the linux-binary to install, but at least for me,
that one have serious problems with the address book.
