No, there isn't.
Given that lots of people say they use portmaster because it doesn't
depend on ruby, bringing in a gratuitous jdk and all its dependencies,
is going to be a serious issue for some people.
In a way this make thing simpler, as it makes a stronger case for fixing
the jdk makefiles, which will fix the problem with portmanager too.
