>From /usr/ports/www/netscape4-navigator/pkg/DESCR:

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 might take care of your problem.
