Yes. I currently use a native build of Java 1.3.1 with the 8th patchset
from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk13.html. For the
browser, I use a native build of phoenix, from pkgsrc (with Xft...mmm).

Native builds of java are now in pkgsrc-wip (http://pkgsrc-wip.sf.net/),
so you might want to give those a try. Do look and make sure that you
set the knob to build the plugin, though.
