AFAIK one major problem exist - ELF version is still unavailable.

From
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/english/4.7/unix/unsupported/freebsd/complete_install/README.txt:

[...]
A native FreeBSD version of Communicator is now available for FreeBSD 2.2.
[...]

Because Netscape haven't built one (and nobody else can).

IMHO it is not a right place to ask (try to mail Netscape instead). Seems that
Netscape doesn't see any objections to bother with porting, probably because aout
binaries still supported (at least theoretically, while in fact it is huge headache
associated with the need to have two versions of each .so).
