Here is what I get:

java/jdk14:

make -V BUILD_DEPENDS brings up:

 /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac:/usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14 

which is telling me if  /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/java is there

it isn't going to worry about java/linux-sun-jdk14.

in java/linux-sun-jdk14's pkg-plist is:

@unexec %%LOCALBASE%%/bin/unregistervm "%D/%%T%%/bin/java"

which I interpret as  /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac is not going to 
be removed after deinstall.  Still need to test this.  I guess the rules 
about ports cleaning up after themselves in the case of java may not apply,
if that turns out to be the case I'll put some sort of work around in 
portmanager.
