No, this is not true, I called Netscape a few weeks ago:
Me: Hi, I work for one of the many ISP's in the world and we are exploring
the option of getting a netsite commerce server, I just have a few
questions.
Netscape: uhh, ok.
Me: The first is in relation to platform availability. You list the BSDi
platform as one of the platforms which will accept netsite. I know from
experience that FreeBSD will handle BSDi executables and the like, and
I was wondering if you have heard of any experiences in relation to this.
Netscape: uhh, we only support xxx-OS, and xxx-OS [list forgotten].
Me: Yes, I know, but I was wondering if you have heard of anybody who has
tried to run it on FreeBSD, using the BSDi executables, as it should--
in theory--be relatively the same.
Netscape: if it is not one of the operating systems we have listed, we do
not support it.
(sigh, eats pencil at this point)
Me: YES, I know that, I will get back to you later [click].
I found out later that I could grab the 90 day trial and see how it
works. It did work, except for I could not create a key (unknown as to
why this was).
I've since given up the project, as Apache has SSL and should be getting
HTTPS soon.
