Um, there should be - Netscape was probably the reason to make the
compat22 package.   Are you sure there's nothing in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout?

I just installed 3.3 (with compat22) and everything works and I've taken 3
machines up to 3.3 with make upgrade and they all worked as well.

Try reinstalling the compat22 package.  If this doesn't work and you are
sure you have libs in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, then you probably don't have
your ldconfig set up write on startup - you need to merge your /etc with
/usr/src/etc (specifically look in /usr/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf and make
sure your own version of rc.conf has the write ldconfig path).
