I can only speak on my recent experience with FreeBSD
5.1. I failed installing most of the ports (I tried
lots so I don't remember, don't know if I did the
right steps) the only port that worked perfectly was
the Linux-Blackdown 1.3.x series.  Of course you have
to install the linux base libraries. Then I downloaded
the Sun JDK 1.4.0 version for Linux and it also works
fine, I tried the 1.4.1 version and it core dumped. 
I've been using the 1.4.0 setup with Jakarta Tomcat
5.1 and OpenEJB 0.94 without problems (development
enviroment).

Bye
Javier Soques
