Why not simply modify the ctlers to honour the JAVA_HOME envar when
present, otherwise behave the same as on other platforms?

That way, you introduce a superset of the behaviour found on other
platforms that is orthogonal with both the traditional Unix environment
paradigm (envars override defaults) and also with the Java paradigm
(JAVA_HOME means something special).

I agree. At the very least, I would expect a FreeBSD port to provide the option to behave like the official stock release.
