If you had cvsup'ed ports-all and then did a "make index", you would have seen

# cd  /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk13
# make
===>  linux-sun-jdk-1.3.1.09 You must manually fetch the Java 2 Development 
Kit 1.3.1.09 archive (j2sdk-1_3_1_09-linux-i586.bin) from http://
java.sun.com/webapps/download/Display?BundleId=8901, download the Linux 
GNUZIP Tar shell script into /usr/ports/distfiles and then run make again.

I downloaded the *.09*.bin into ../distfiles and make worked at that point.
