Hi,
	If you're not interested in slogging through the KDE3 build
(which was broke for me last time I tried it), give www/netraider
a shot. It's a stripped-down, Konqueror-based browser. It still
requires Qt but it's a lot faster than waiting for the whole KDE3
package to build.

	If you want something quick and dirty, consider www/dillo.
It's not pretty most of the time but it's useful.

Thanks,
Josh
