Reilly-san,

Applets do work in Konqueror (KDE) on FreeBSD with the native JDK.  The only 
problem is that LiveScript (JavaScript) control over an applet doesn't work 
in Konqueror and some applets appear outside of the browser frame.

I would recommend creating an application (as opposed to applet) and 
deploying with WebStart.  That works fine on Netscape 4.7x, Mozilla, and 
Konqueror (although I recall having to tweak some things to get it to find 
the native JRE).  You get the advantages of an application (which could talk 
to a web service if you so chose) with the deployability of an applet.
