assuming you are running a native firefox build (and not
linux-firefox) you should have this file:

/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

that should happen when you install the package or port.  this is the
case with the diable-jre-1.5 package for sure.  also check the output
of about:plugins in your URL bar in firefox to see if it's getting
registered.
