Mosaic 2.6.2 is available at this url, compiled for MacBSD: 

ftp://remus.rutgers.edu/pub/NetBSD/goodies/

It's fairly slow, but it seems pretty reliable. Obviously, it requires 
that X be installed. I wouldn't think that Netscape would ever support 
our port. They've only recently started to support Linux, BSDi and 
Solaris x86, so I would think that an OS like ours would be at the very 
bottom of their priority list, if it made the list at all. Good luck with 
mosaic, though.
