Yes, quite easily. I'm using ServletExec with NES myself (and even
older version than yours, 3.5.1 -- but part of that is because we got
it free being an edu). And I have tried JRun in the past as well.

You might look into the pros and cons of using the built-in servlet
support of the newer Netscape (actually iPlanet) product. For
example, one might think -- although I can't say for sure in this
specific instance -- that the third party servlet container vendors
would be quicker to fix bugs and support new versions of the API. And
of course there are other considerations.
