Well if you look at freshports and the jdk14 port:
http://www.freshports.org/java/jdk14/ you can see that packages
dependencies, and if you look at the linux-jdk package it depends on you
can see:

"IGNORE: You must manually fetch the J2SE SDK self-extracting
file for the Linux platform (j2sdk-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin)"

In the freshports site it details the differnt versions and when they
were changed/updated. Is this what you were looking for?
