I've been taking advantage of the fact that NetBSD runs 386/BSD binaries
and using the bsdi version of Mosaic (which they have compiled).  You
can get it from bsdi.com in /sw/applications/Mosaic/Mosaic-2.0.  You
will have to make a link from /usr/X386 to /usr/X11 so it can find it
app-defaults files (unless you are happy with the default setup), but it
works great.
