Your best off using mod_proxy to connect tomcat and apache2 especially 
since your after a sure fire way.
I also assume because your using Java your after performance, so you the 
threaded apache2 worker MPM,
but it isn't a good idea to load a module like PHP with worker because 
they aren't particularly thread safe and uses more memory.
portupgrade -NRr -m 'WITH_MPM=worker -DWITH_PROXY_MODULES' 
/usr/ports/www/apache2
