My understanding is that the precompiled package performs better then the 
one you build from ports, *but* ... I don't know why ...

On my 6-STABLE machine, to get Azureus to work properly, I had to add the 
following to /etc/libmap.conf:

[/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/]
libpthread.so                   libc_r.so
libpthread.so.2                 libc_r.so.6

else it just didn't work ...

Beyond that, I've been using the precompiled one and been most happy with 
it ...
