Like the man said: work is ongoing to produce a binary release of the
JDK for freebsd. The licensing requirements make compatability testing
to gain this somewhat difficult; until that work is completed, there
won't be a binary package of JDK available for freebsd.

The gory details are in the archives for -java; if you want to help out,
I'm sure they'll welcome the effort :-)

Ever see something and think, "I've gotta leverage me some of that?"
Odds are, you were looking at a synergy and didn't even know it.
