Responsible-Changed-Why: 
The problem here isn't the jdk15 port.  Here is what is happening:

The jdk15 port is pulling in the linux-sun-jdk14 port as a dependency
(to bootstrap itself) which is in turn pulling in linux_base-8 as a
dependency (the current default linux_base).  linux_base-8 will fail
on amd64 as it tries to set ${ARCH}, which fails in a sub-make.  The
problem is described completely in this email message:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=41567+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2006/freebsd-java/20060416.freebsd-java

A viable workaround is to install linux_base-8 separately and then
return to jdk15 install.
