I think it would be very good for SUN to buy Netscape. I would call it more consolidation in the Java camp. IBM and Oracle are in big time. Netscape doesn't have to duplicate efforts on Java. Also Javagator would probably come out on time, which would go a long way as the browser of choice for all kinds of devices running a JVM. They could collaborate on the web server and other technologies for which they are competing against each other. Finally Netscape is at a very good bargain price and looking for direction. SUN usually makes REALLY REALLY good deals when they buy companies unlike Microsoft which just throws out money (to prevent competition).
