The process you'ld start is called 'java' according to ps(1) -- tomcat
runs inside that.

You certainly should get some output from the startup script.  Seeing nothing
at all is a classic symptom of not having the right settings in rc.conf

Try using sockstat(1) to see if you have anything likely with a network
listener on ports 8180 8005 or 8009.  Note that tomcat doesn't bind to
port 80 (or 443 for SSL enabled versions) unless you modify server.xml 

If there's a port 8180 listener, then http://localhost:8180/ should get
you the default tomcat home page.

If not then you should be able to find some logs in
/usr/local/apache-tomcat6.0/logs  which may offer clues.

	Cheers,
