To follow up.
Midori and Epiphany are not explained in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html

as root:
cd /usr/ports/www/midori && make install clean
Epiphany comes with the gnome desktop environment, which is mentioned in the
Handbook also.

I don't use/install the Java plugin, only flash
