then:

-bash-2.05b$ export PKG_JVM=sun-jkd14

and

-bash-2.05b$ export PKG_JAVA_HOME=/usr/pkg/java/jdk-1.4.2

(or whatever the appropriate directory is)

Basically, there are some default licenses that NetBSD's pkgsrc will
allow by default, GPL, BSD, others?  Basically, the Sun JDK license
isn't as free as we'd like it to be, this section of the mk.conf lets
those who are a bit more religious than I am from installing stuff
that violates this.  It also alows a commericial-use server from not
automatically installing a free for noncom use but pay for commercial
use pkg w/o the admin being fully aware.

So, to /etc/mk.conf, add a line that looks like:

ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=jdk-license

(my /etc/mk.conf has ~15 such lines for various the license types).
