where does /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a come from? it needs to be compiled
from /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/open-motif according to the jdk15/Makefile
at least, and it should contain relocatable objects, like this:

$ ar xv /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a CascadeB.o
x - CascadeB.o
$ file CascadeB.o 
CascadeB.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD),
not stripped
