Even if there is such a package available, www/communicator,
www/navigator and www/mozilla do not require it
(theoretically).  They use their own rendering engines,
instead of the X internationalized text renderer, because
they actually need a multilingualized renderer.

All of them can show Japanese (Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean
and whatever they support) web pages without any additional
packages (except for the fonts).

If you have to use HTML forms written in Japanese or to
input Japanese text via forms, use either of

 - communicator/navigator, after installing locale-related
  files for their native OSs (Linux, Tru64 etc.).
 - mozilla, with XPG4DL (*1).

Both require the environment variable LC_ALL properly.

Not availble (yet) as a pkgsrc, and (currently) requires
NetBSD-current (not 1.5_BETA).
