WordPerfect, StarOffice are like MS Office.

I like mutt, but there are tons of email clients in /usr/ports/mail

hmm? don't know what you mean... if it's something like a spreadsheet then
check /usr/ports/math

netscape, lynx. check out /usr/ports/www

all you have to do is find the software you want and do a make install,
for instance... if you want netscape communicator 4.5:

# cd /usr/ports/www/netscape45-communicator
# make install

after that you'll have netscape installed.
