Netsurf works fine, but unfortunately depends on a legacy libutf8proc,
which conflicts with the more modern utf8proc required by many other
ports (including subversion).
All firefox dependencies build ("make depends" runs clean), so we're
very close.
BTW, there are ~27,000 binary packages for ppc64, ~31,000 for amd64.
Not bad, and that number will jump when a few key ports like qt5-core
are fixed.
