You could install the binary package of diablo-jdk15 and then a binary 
package of tomcat55. If you get any warnings about missing dependencies 
you could force the installation with pkg_add -f. If you happen to 
install on a server without a graphics card you should also be invoking 
java with -Djava.awt.headless=true.
