Only if you're running NetBSD/i386. FreeBSD only supports Intel
Architecture processors (i.e. x86). There is a BSDi binary that works for
NetBSD/i386 as well, I believe.
Until some kind soul creates an m68k version from the soon-to-be-released
Communicator 5.0 sources, the only way you can run Netscape under NetBSD
is as a remote client on your local X server.
Sorry.
