Ok, so I pkg_deinstall diablo-jdk and tried to install jdk15.
It errors out (I had previously had installed this long ago and didn't have 
any problems tracking it with csup/portupgrade).

Exiting because of the above error(s).

gmake: *** [post-sanity] Error 1

Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.

And why does it reference diablo?
