On running 2.2-ALPHA as well and I am using the following kit

-rw-r--r--  1 558  523  2994597 Oct  1 04:15 jdk102.tar.gz

that can be obtained at freefall.freebsd.org in the directory:

/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS

It's a complete port of the JDK 1.02 for FreeBSD.  It works very well 
under 2.2-ALPHA... Even with X11!
