You have a couple options.
1) install dillo locally on your hpcmips device (this requires several
other prerequisite packages, check the list archives)
2) ssh into a remote machine and run the browser on that machine, tunneled
back over ssh to your hpcmips device.  That's what I do at home, ssh into
my ultra5 and run mozilla on that, displayed back to my mobilepro, works
fine.
