If you:
cd /usr/ports/java/jdk13
and:
make - or - make install
The Makefile will answer your questions for you. You will need
the Java 2 source from SUN the Patch6 code from somewhere else,
and the Make process will tell you where to find the files and
where to put the tarballs.
Make will then look for linux-jdk1.3.1, since the code is
written in java, and you won't have a binary javac in the tarball
you downloaded from SUN. Once you have the native java installation,
you can change the Makefile and ALT_BOOTDIR environment parameter
to point to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1, and not /usr/local/linux-jck1.3.1.
