It turns out this wasn't a problem in the pkgdb at all. There was
some kind of problem unregistering the java vm during the uninstall of
the old jdk15 package. I finally realized that the output from the
install was referring to a java vm registration, not a package
registration:
registervm: error: JavaVM "/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java" is already registe=
red
When I realized this, I ran
# unregistervm /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java
then `make install` from /usr/ports/java/jdk15/ and everything worked.
