Btw, you only need the linux JDK the first time.  Once you've compiled a
native JDK, you can use that to recompile itself the next time.  The code
is there in the Makefile, commented out: 

# Let an installed version of this package bootstrap a later version
# (skips having to reinstall sun-jdk14 again)
#
#.if exists(${JVM_HOME}/LICENSE)
#BUILD_DEPENDS+=                jdk14>=1
#MAKE_ENV+=             ALT_BOOTDIR=${JVM_HOME}
#.else
BUILD_DEPENDS+=         sun-jdk14>=1:../../lang/sun-jdk14
MAKE_ENV+=              ALT_BOOTDIR=${LOCALBASE}/java/sun-1.4
#.endif
