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.
