Just a short reply:
- yes, forward secrecy is now supported, although i found it hard to 
find a cipher
   set that works with all browsers perfectly.
- yes, the .pem file should include the diffie hellman parameters, when 
you use *DHE* ciphers.
   The readme on  https://bitbucket.org/naviserver/nsssl shows an 
example how to build such
   a .pem file.
- in order to use all functionality on nsssl (e.g. fo ns_ssl), one 
should currently use the
   head version of NaviServer (4.99.6) until it is released
