That might be true. However, netscape/suse-6.4 works for me on
NetBSD-1.4.3/i386 (though I haven't tried the very latest):

fredb@handy-> pkg_info -e '{suse*,netscape*}'
suse_base-6.4nb2
suse_x11-6.4
suse_audio-6.4
suse_compat-6.4
suse_libc5-6.4
suse_libjpeg-6.4
suse_libpng-6.4
suse_glx-6.4
suse_gtk-6.4
suse_xforms-6.4
suse_linux-6.4
suse_devel-6.4
netscape-4.76

If you're not interested in doing the full upgrade, you only need the
1.4.3 kernel (and it should probably work with 1.4.2 binaries).
