When you say you have downloaded the JRE for freebsd, I assume you mean
appropriate version from
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

If you have downloaded the package from there then just run
pkg_add $nameofdownloadedfile
For 6.x i386 that would be
pkg_add diablo-jdk-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz

hope that helps,

Vince
