I've never encountered this problem, but my /usr/share/doc/netscape-common-4.76/README 
file says:

---------------------------------------
Java Applet Support:

          Java Applet support is available for all Unix platforms.

          To run Java applets with the Java-enabled version, Communicator
          needs to be able to load Java class files from a file called
          java40.jar.  This file is included in the distribution, and is
          searched for using the following algorithm:

             if($CLASSPATH environment variable is set)
                 Look at $CLASSPATH, where $CLASSPATH is a
                 colon-delimited list of <path>/<jar-file> entries.
             else
                 Search in order:
                     <program directory>
                     $MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes
                     $HOME/.netscape
                     /usr/local/netscape/java/classes
                     /usr/local/lib/netscape

          If you were running Java with an earlier version of the Netscape
          Navigator, you need to replace your old moz2_0.car file, moz*.zip
          file, or java_3* file with the new java40.jar file supplied in this
          distribution.  
---------------------------------------

So I'm guessing you need the file "java40.jar" in one of the locations mentioned in 
the README file.

The system I'm on right now has this file:
$ locate java40.jar
/usr/lib/netscape/java/classes/java40.jar

Do you have the java40.jar file on your system? maybe copying it into your ~/.netscape 
directory will fix your problem?

Or else you could try setting the variable CLASSPATH so it point to the right location:
CLASSPATH=/path/to/java40/jar; export CLASSPATH
(then put it in your ~/.bash_profile to make it permenant).
