Internet and Minix

Are any stable packages available in Minix that allow for surfing the
internet with a traditional GUI Browser (as opposed to lynx and text
browsing?)

No. Minix is an educational OS, not the next big Linux clone with a
flashy desktop.

There aren't any gui browsers that I know of but you can use
firefox,etc by accessing it on another machine via X11.
