Any gotchas? Well, Alex Boisvert has just made a port for JDK 1.1.2, which is in beta at the moment and is currently available for use at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/jdk1.1.2-fbsd1.tgz.good and he's planning to release the diffs probably after Christmas. If you're in a hurry, there's always kwhite's port for JDK 1.1-Final (ie 1.1.0) at: http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/javaport.html If you're interested in making a port to JDK 1.1.5, remember to post your progress about your effort here. I'm sure you'll be able to get several other people to help you with it.
