Looks scary, but there no limitations for redistribution, even limited derivative work (if one constitues patches in the FreeBSD port as such) is allowed. Java says you can't redistribute it (i.e. files) so we can't mirror them. Ports can also contain a fully proprietary, closed-source software, so I guess you are ok with it. //Marcin (speaking only for myself and in no means legal advice)
