It will be nice if netscape compiled an X11R6 version for FreeBSD :)

This is what I set in order to prevent netscape from core dumping on 
freebsd when I paste something on a window.



setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls

I just pasted the above two lines :)
