The java/linux-sun-jdk13 port seems to build if the distfile exists :

.if !exists(${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}) && !defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING)
IGNORE= You must manually fetch the Java 2 Development Kit ${PORTVERSION}\
        archive (${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}) from ${DOWNLOAD_URL},\
        download the "Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script" into ${DISTDIR} and\
        then run make again
.endif

Though it probably won't be build a package on bento because the port
also sets NO_CDROM and RESTRICTED.
