What's so wrong with doing this?:
# pkg_delete -f jdk-1.4.2p6_4
# pkg_add jdk-1.4.2p6_5
# pkgdb -Fvu
Or you can use portupgrade. Make sure that PKG_PATH is set in your
environment to include the directory where you've put
jdk-1.4.2p6_5.tgz, and then just run:
# portupgrade -PP java/jdk14
Cheers,
Matthew
