Unfortunately your options are rather limited on sparc64.
Dillo works, most of the time, but is rather crash-prone (
like many
gtk1 applications )
Konqueror works just fine but you'll need quite a lot of RAM
and
building it from pkgsrc taked bloody ages.

For the "takes bloody ages to build" problem, you
could try a
binary package, e.g.

 
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc-2005Q3/NetBS
D-2.0/sparc64/All/kdebase-3.4.2nb2.tgz

This should work on 2.0 and later, I beleive.

(My build of 2005Q4 hasn't completed quite yet.)

I know about binary packages - the remark above was meant as
a warning,
not a complaint ;)

Sure, and my remark was merely ment to remind others of the
option, so that my own efforts in the bulk-build arena
aren't
completely wasted
