After, Star Office is just another Linux program. No, I installed linux_base on a 3.3-RELEASE system which was upgraded from 2.2.8. I needed to put directory names into /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf and run /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig (which appears to simply update the file /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache) when installing StarOffice. Packages such as StarOffice now seem to come with their own lib directories in their own tree. Maybe the vanilla Linux install puts the directories into the ld.so.conf file and runs ldconfig? Anyway, I did this for StarOffice. Is is it possible that the version of Netscape that you are using has the same scheme - that is, its own lib directory which must be installed in this way?
