There are several ways out:
 
 - read the README that comes with netscape :-)

 - install Debian's motifnls package, it creates the required nls directory

 - use Debian's "netscape" installer package

and there are still more possibilities. I simply put netscape's binary into
/usr/local/lib/netscape, along with the moz3_0.zip and the XKeysymDB file,
and then use this script which is saved as /usr/local/bin/netscape

#!/bin/sh
XNLSPATH=/usr/lib/X11/nls/ \
XKEYSYMDB=/usr/local/lib/netscape/XKeysymDB \
exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape "$@"
