Java won't install due to nonsensical X11 errors

Hello,

I'm trying to get any version of Java 1.5+ installed on FreeBSD 8.1.

Trying either Diablo or OpenJDK ends with the following errors.

The strange thing is, the statements don't make sense. All
the "unsatisfied dependencies" are already satisfied according to it.

What can I can do I about this? (I'll further add: this is a headless
server, which will never run X on anyway).

Here's the error:

####
Requested 'xproto >= 7.0.13' but version of Xproto is 7.0.10
Requested 'x11 >= 1.2.99.1' but version of X11 is 1.1.3
Requested 'xextproto >= 7.0.3' but version of XExtProto is 7.0.2
Requested 'xext >= 1.0.99.1' but version of Xext is 1.0.3
Requested 'inputproto >= 1.9.99.902' but version of InputProto is 1.4.2.1

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XI_CFLAGS
and XI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
