As others have stated, yes they are fully AMD64 ports and do not require
an ia32 compatability layer. Java 1.5 has been functional for a long
time now as a pure 64-bit port.  You do need a bootstrap java compiler,
however, which usually means you have to install a linux-compat version
for the first build.  After that, you can delete the linux version.

There is no 64-bit java plugin support available for web browsers, but
stand-alone java works.
