This is a guess... I ran across this yesterday when looking for the
Netscape 3.01 port:
This is the netscape web-surfboard. Please read the file
"/usr/local/lib/netscape/LICENSE" for the licensing terms.
Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
chmod 444 fonts.dir
And then exit and restart your X server.
This port can install either the regular or "gold" version.
For the latter, add "GOLD=yes" to your "make" command line.
I hope this helps... it was taken from
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/www/netscape3/pkg/DESCR
I'm not sure if this will work with your stable version Java works on my
2-2-stable. If you still need help, try the person who
"built/compiled/ported?" the port. I think its ache@FreeBSD.ORG
