Why go with the linux port and not try the native
diablo-jdk-1.5.x package?

Note that there is also diablo-jre15 in /usr/ports/java

Now for native jdk15 you have the following options:
i) 
cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15 ; make install 
# You compile everything from the java sources

ii) 
cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15 ; make install
# You install the binary but thru the ports system

iii) 
pkg_add diablo-jdk-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz
# You install the binary directly via the packages system
# The above is for freebsd 6
