OK; I managed to get portmaster to upgrade the port.

I normally perform such upgrades within script(1).  This time, after
invoking script, I issued:

unsetenv LC* LANG

before invoking portmaster, and that worked.

(I noticed that after "su -", output of "env" did not include any of the
LC* variables or LANG.)

There would thus appear to be a functional difference between setting
the above-cited environment variables to "default" values vs. not having
them set at all.

(And after the upgrade, browsing to <http://javatester.org/version.html>;
with Firefox still shows "Java Version: 1.6.0_32 from Sun Microsystems
Inc.")

Peace,
