Installing jdk-1.4.2p6_4.tgz

I am not real good with FreeBSD yet and am having problems installing 
the jdk-1.4.2p6_4.tgz, built on one of my machines, on another.  When I 
tried to do a pkg_add, it complained that it needed javavmwrapper-1.4 
and urwfonts-1.0, but did not do a remote fetch.  So I installed 
portupgrade, but it wants to rebuild the whole thing over again from the 
Sun sources and patches.  I have put jdk-1.4.2p6_4.tgz in the 
/usr/ports/distfiles directory.  But am not sure what the correct 
command is.  I did not want to have to hand fetch each dependency and 
rerun to find out the next dependency, ad nauseum.  Thank you for any help.

Fred.
