portmanager just went through a major change with version 0.3.2,

If I understand your post correctly there might be a bug in portmanager,
here is how it "should work":

if a port has an out of date RUN_DEPENDS LIB_DEPENDS or DEPENDS
then it gets picked for rebuilding, but is'nt actually built until
all of the port's BUILD_DEPENDS EXTRACT_DEPENDS PATCH_DEPENDS
FETCH_DEPENDS and all of the run depends are up to date.

Please try 

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 && make -V RUN_DEPENDS -V LIB_DEPENDS -V DEPENDS

If any of those are out of date then that is probably the real reason why 
jdk14 is being updated and this is just a reporting problem.

For the bad news though, if linux-sun-jdk is a BUILD_DEPENDS then portmanager 
is going to expect it to be installed before building java/jdk14.  If there 
is another way to build that port the proper place to fix this problem is in
that port's Makefile. Maybe by making the BUILD_DEPEND contitional
on the existanace of its own existing JDK?
