I don't know about the package stuff, but a port of Sun's JDK which I
use for *Real* work (tm) is available at:
ftp://freefall.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.11-26.tar.gz

I know of at least 2 bugs in it.

- You can't use call system executables from it (it blows chunks and
  leaves the process you called running in the netherlands).
- The java.util.Date (??) is messed up.

This should contain *everything* you need to do all sorts of Java
applets/applications, etc...
