I posted this on the blog but thought I post here too. Last year I set up a WorldWideWeb.app (version 0.15) running in the Previous emulator on Ubuntu for a CTF challenge for DEF CON 2018 Quals (they had to exploit a buffer overflow in HTTP.c). There's a lot of other cruft around to set up and automate the challenge and getting input to WWW, but there's Vagrant and ansible scripts to set up and run everything. There's a lot of work to set up networking in NextStep and getting all the pieces right (I think I even set up an SSH server running on NextStep). The source is all here: https://github.com/o-o-overflow/chall-www I'd be happy to help, I love this idea of software archeology/preservation.
