Personally I prefer your suggested naming scheme, but in the spirit of the
existing FreeBSD ports I think platform-src-jdkXX is the way to go.

Well, this depends. There are pros and cons for both approaches. Most people
prefer not having a third digit. This group does not include me, the more JDKs
I can install, the better. But I do agree the ports system will get bloated
pretty quickly otherwise.
