I can tell you exactly what the sequence of events was in my installation of that port: 1. Fetch the tar file. Contemplate unpacking and installing it by hand but decide "no, wait, I might as well just create a port for this right here and now instead." 2. Move the tar file to the distfiles directory and clone the netscape2 port as netscape3 (the missing "fetch" step here is why I blew the initial path to the tarball, which Satoshi fixed - whoops!). 3. Fix the new netscape3 port to DTRT for the slightly different structure of the new port - mainly just change "hot-convert.sh" to "moz3_0.zip" since the hot-convert script was gone and the moz3_0.zip file added. 4. Make install. Yow - it worked! 5. Visit http://java.sun.com and run all the applets there. Yow, they work too! 6. Import the port. I'm running 2.2-current; I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
