	Star Office, Word Perfect or Applix all for Linux will work in 
compatability mode. A native port of Applix is on the way.

	There are plenty. Netscape works if you need/want a gui. Check
	/usr/ports/mail. Pine and elm are popular. (I prefer elm)

	Netscape.

You might find Word Perfect or Applix at those stores. But you can download
WP for free for personal use. I think you can pre-order Applix from 
Walnut Creek.

Also check http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/software_bycat.html for more
hints.
