Sorry, but:

% make -V RESTRICTED 
Redistribution of source or binaries permitted only by license terms

That's why you have to manually download the sources from Sun, accept the
license terms and build from source yourself.

An easy alternative are the pkgsrc/lang/sun-j* binary packages (official
Linux binaries), but then you'll have to run a Linux-binary browser like
www/firefox-bin.
