Tomcat is not difficult to install by hand. I actually find that
installing Java apps via the ports mechanism tends to obscure
installation/configuration problems. 

There is excellent documentation for installing Tomcat at
http://jakarta.apache.org

I haven't tried making the port, but I can assure you that Tomcat 3.1
and 3.2 work with JDK1.1.8 native and linux-jdk1.2.
