i have only installed lang/sun-jdk15 ( it depends on lang/sun-jre15 )
and the WTK (linux binary),
jre is symlinked to :

"Jun 19 16:09 /usr/pkg/java/sun-1.5/jre -> ."

based on your remarks , doing just a :

"ln -s /usr/pkg/java/sun-1.5/lib /usr/pkg/java/lib"

its enough for me to build ( compile , preverify , package ) 
successfully now

i wonder if this behavior ( filesystem layout , emulation , java-linux )
is "stable" enough so as to have patches for package sun-j2me to install ,
( or on the other hand set a pkg_fail_reason if it detects a non-native 
java install )

thanks for your help ,
