Give Konqueror a shot. It's part of KDE (2), so you will need to install kdelibs and kdebase. But since I've installed KDE-2, I haven't been using Netscape at all, except for those "netscape-only" sites that really mean it. It it full featured, supports CSS, Java, ECMA (javascript), Netscape plugins, etc. The only problems I've had have been with Netscape plugins. Since these are typically Linux binaries, they won't work in the FreeBSD process space of Konqueror. It's a small price though.
