Problems with tzupdater dependency in BSD Java ports

Hello,
As you may know, the Java ports for FreeBSD require the user, for licensing restrictions, to fetch several dependencies manually, namely the JDK DST Timezone Update Tool and a file called diablo-jdk. The port depends on version tzupdater-1_3_42, however this file is out of date with respect to the download link that the port displays in the error message when make fails, for example when make installing in ports/java/openjdk6. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html does not have the old version (its on 1.3.45 now).
I was able to find the old tzupdater on a sketchy third party site, but it might be wise to change the port to depend on the new version of tzupdater.
