Yes, that's right. jdk14 is needed to compile jdk15, welcome to the
world of Java ;)
Because of license issues you have to fetch the linux jdk14 binary as
well as some distfiles required by jdk15 manually as indicated above.

However you don't have to build jdk15 as there is an official FreeBSD
binary available!
See: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?44343C8E.2050707

Just install java/diablo-jdk15 and it will install the binary
