>Description:
This will apply for any machine, I think.

When you try to make install ports/www/netscape4*, it will try to
install the aout version of X.  On my machine, it fails dismally.
>How-To-Repeat:
as root: [some netscape] = any netscape port
cd /usr/ports/www/[some netscape]
make install

>Fix:
Get and use the BSDi version of netscape instead of the FreeBSD version.
Manually install by decompressing it and running the ns-install script.
(let it go in /usr/local/netscape as it wishes and then make a symlink
to the executable like
'ln -s /usr/local/netscape/netscape /usr/bin/netscape')

 The ports should try to install only X aoutlibs, not whole X.

Sounds like you need to CVSup your ports tree or use the Linux version as 
suggested. :)
