There's something called popclient in the Amiga section at
ftp.netbsd.org.  Works fine on a Mac.

 I tried Mosaic and it was complaining about not being able to find
 Librarys.. If a program is writen to compile on a bsd 4.x OS?
 should it definitly be able to compile on NETBSD?

You need Motif to compile Mosaic.  (This is a pay product.)
There is a binary of Mosaic somewhere (can't remember offhand...)
but it is DOG SLOW on a 68030 sans FPU.

Chimera (available from a UNLV ftp - sorry, can't remember the
address) is pretty quick.

There's also a precompiled version of Arena around (again, sorry,
but my memory for urls is really short) but it seemed really
buggy when I tried it.

If you haven't subscribed to the mailing lists yet, you should.
These issues are addressed a lot.
