  You might want to look at the sudo port located in security/sudo to
  minimize you root time.

- try the 'whereis' command to find executables, if you have the java
  binarys in your $PATH. Else you can look in the pkg-plist files to see
  where files will be put when installing.

- reinstalling OS is not an option, just an rudimentary Wintendo urge :)

  What you need to do is a lot of reading starting with the handbook:
  
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

  It has a nice section on ports. Also the freebsd java page will be a
  good place for you to read:

  http://www.freebsd.org/java/

  I hope this helps a bit, but the best advise I can give is read, read,
  read ect.

  Morten.
