|1. Fetch the tar file.  Contemplate unpacking and installing it by hand
|   but decide "no, wait, I might as well just create a port for this right
|   here and now instead."
|
|2. Move the tar file to the distfiles directory and clone the netscape2
|   port as netscape3 (the missing "fetch" step here is why I blew the
|   initial path to the tarball, which Satoshi fixed - whoops!).
|
|3. Fix the new netscape3 port to DTRT for the slightly different structure
|   of the new port - mainly just change "hot-convert.sh" to "moz3_0.zip"
|   since the hot-convert script was gone and the moz3_0.zip file added.
|
|4. Make install.  Yow - it worked!
|
|5. Visit http://java.sun.com and run all the applets there.  Yow, they
|   work too!
|
|6. Import the port.
|
|I'm running 2.2-current; I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I had the same success under FreeBSD-stable, though I
installed it manually.  Rich
