Download the port, but before running "make" make two changes in the Makefile (line starting with $FILES or something like this): replace moz3.zip with java_30 and replace the actual netscape binary with the current version (have a peek at netscape ftp site to find out what's available at the moment), then proceed as with any other port. The netscape3 port in FreeBSD port collection is outdated, the netscape binary it tries to fetch isn't available anymore, the changes above make sure it fetches correct files -- the procedure worked flawlessly for me.
