I have Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 installed so I'm not too concerned with testing on those.
I'm open to suggestions for other browsers though :)

For Netscape I'm thinking of installing a v4.7 copy but for more recent ones I really don't have a clue. Which one is still used by a fair amount of people: v5, v6 or just go with the lastest v7?

Is there a significant difference between Netscape v7 and Mozilla as far as handling of CSS and Javascript goes?

Is Opera worth testing against and if so which version would be best?

Old Netscape (4.x) may be good for testing (it's not necessary to have exact same layout with it, main thing is to get page usable for NS 4 users). Mozilla and new Netscape renders site the same way (Netscape is based on Mozilla). Opera (6 or 7) is also good to have. If your code is 100% valid (http://validator.w3.org/) there should be no problems with new browsers (IE 4 ->, Mozilla 1.x and Opera 4-5 ->).
