You should be able to use it without Motif.  I posted a pkg_add'able
thingy on incoming and statically linked it with the Motif libs:

  ftp.cdrom.com:pub/FreeBSD/incoming/nedit-4.0.1.tgz

You do need a current version of libc because the major version changed
from 2 to 3.  Linking libc.3.0 to libc.2.x might work?

P.S.  You also need xpm3.4 also available as a package in graphics.
