First, it's necessary to know the difference between Navigator and
Communicator.  Navigator is just a web browser.  Communicator is the
browser, plus and email/news client and a WYSIWYG (sorta) HTML editor.

Now that we've got that out of the way.  You probably saw the important
part of the error message which was that you didn't set the USA_RESIDENT
environment variable to YES before making the port.  You can set this in
/etc/make.conf, which is probably the best place to do it, or you could
just:

USA_RESIDENT="YES" make install

The other thing you will notice is that you need to download the
software from netscape first, especially because you are trying to
install the USA version of the software.  I found that if I first
installed the exportable version of Netscape first (from packages if you
like), then it's easy to download the USA version.  Otherwise, you need
a web browser to download it.

Once you;ve got the USA version of netscape, put the tar.gz file that
you downloaded into /usr/ports/distfiles, which is where the ports
mechanism expects tarballs to be for the make install to work.
