Classes for FreeBSD ports are usually installed in
/usr/local/share/java/classes, *BUT* they're generally wrapped
in a .zip or .jar file, which is what needs to in your CLASSPATH.

My CLASSPATH looks like this (I've wrapped the lines for readability):

    /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/lib/classes.zip:\
    /usr/local/share/java/classes/mysql_comp.jar:\
    /usr/local/share/java/classes/jsdk.jar:\
    /usr/local/share/java/classes/collections.jar:\
    /usr/local/share/java/classes/ApacheJServ.jar:.

I've got the following chunk of code in my .profile to automatically
add all the files in /usr/local/share/java/classes to my CLASSPATH.
This code will work with sh, ksh, or bash.  It's a bit more general
than you probably need because it works on both my home FreeBSD
machine and my Solaris-based machine at work.

    # initialize path variables for FreeBSD port classes
    #
    if [ -z "$JCLASS" ]; then
      if [ -d "/usr/local/share/java/classes" ]; then
        JCLASS="/usr/local/share/java/classes"
      fi
      if [ -d "/usr/local/classes" ]; then
        JCLASS="/usr/local/classes"
      fi
    fi
    if [ ! -z "$JCLASS" ]; then
      if [ -d "$JCLASS" ]; then
        foundclass=
        for i in "$JCLASS"/*.jar "$JCLASS"/*.zip; do
          if [ -f "$i" ]; then
            CLASSPATH="$i:$CLASSPATH"
            foundclass=true
          fi
        done
        if [ -z "$foundclass" ]; then
          CLASSPATH="$JCLASS/classes:$CLASSPATH"
        fi
      fi
    fi

Hope some of this helps!
