I've located where the modifications should take place:

Stage 5, add another condition for each USE_JAVA:

	"java/$(PORTNAME)" != "$(_JAVA_PORT_...)"

If you want I could provide a patch. My main problem regarding JDK port
testing is that even though I have spare time, my CPU hasn't got enough of
it ;) And building a native port takes a lot ! Too bad there's no
branching for ports (everything is -CURRENT AFAIK) so people could test
for themselves.

PS: I've had time to think about "bsd.java.mk 2.0" (while supervising an
exam...) and I've come to some thoughts I would like to share. Maybe we
should let the port building as-is for now and support it only in
bsd.java.mk 2.0 ? I'll explain further in my next message (after a good
meal that is).
