I didn't use the netscape port, I don't like the way it builds from the 
port so I downloaded the latest version from netscape.com.  I chose to 
install it in /usr/local/netscape which ended up in 
/usr/compat/linux/usr/local/netscape which I think it has to do with 
linux emulator then I installed linux-sun-jdk1.3.1 from the ports, I 
used this version because this version builds with hotspot disabled, all 
the others I believe build with hotspot and that crashes java all the 
time.  Then I just linked 
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
to /usr/compat/linux/usr/local/netscape/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
using ln -s.  I put another link for netscape in my path and that was it.

By the way I was able to fix the above problem, it had to do java 
permissions, I ran chmod -R u+s linux-sun-jdk1.3.1 folder and that fixed 
the problem.  It's running beautifully again.
