Right here in the jdk15 Makefile:

.if !defined(WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP)
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386"
NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP_JDKS+= ${LOCALBASE}/diablo-jdk1.5.0
.endif
NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP_JDKS+= ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.5.0 \
                        ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2
.endif

If you install the diablo-jdk15 port first you can use it to build the
jdk15 port (bootstrapping) and you won't need to mess with
linux-sun-jdk14. After your done installing jdk15 you can remove
diablo-jdk15 from the system, it's only a build requirement and now
that jdk15 is built and installed you can use that to bootstrap future
jdk15 builds.

So... it's really simple:
# cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15; make install
# cd ../jdk15; make install clean
# cd ../diablo-jdk15; make deinstall clean
