Indeed - that's what I like about this - you can do everything within
the normal ports work-flow - no using packages or dealing with the
diablo distfiles. It would be much more seamless for users. In the
suggested alternative, I would need to:
1) pkg_add openjdk
2) build openjdk from ports
3) uninstall openjdk from the package
4) install openjdk from the port

portmaster/upgrade can help with 2-4 but it still need manual
intervention beyond normal "make install clean."

And of course it assumes I know this situation exists - if I don't,
then I end up with an error related to fetching diablo distfiles that
doesn't present a way forward, other than install diablo as a build
dependency.

Also, what about using the official packages from the cluster as the
bootstrap instead? That would solve the problem of manually built
packages getting behind.
