I have Netscape 6.2.1 on my FreeBSD 4.5-r box, here from Netscape/About-

Netscape 6.2.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i386; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011126
Netscape6/6.2.1 

I just have linux emulation installed during the initial FreeBSD
installation, then installed Netscape 6.2.1 from the port. Works fine.
