They are all available.

I use rdesktop and gaim under NetBSD. And screen (also see "window") and 
mozilla and thunderbird and mod_perl (see ap-perl and ap2-perl) are
available.

What is the URL for the "apache-perl" (a mod_perl) variant?

Have fun with NetBSD. You may want to use the netbsd-help or pkgsrc-users 
lists for more assistance (as this list is for technical discussions about 
the pkgsrc infrastructure and not a general help channel).
