One could argue that it would be a good idea to leave the signing software alone and include Java standard in 3.0-current... The comment on <http://www.freebsd.org/java/>; is: This is a pre-release version of Sun's Java Development Kit ported to FreeBSD. It is being tested for any problems that might exist. No known significant bugs exist at this time, but there are no guarantees of usability. I think that pretty much describes 3.0-current in general so it would fit right in :-) I may be alone on this, but I would certainly like to see Java as standard-issue on FreeBSD (and I do mean standard-issue, not just a port).
