Yes, you can have both installed at the same time. /usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper makes switching JVMs easy using environment variables, however it doesn't seem to support switching browser plugins. For that you'd probably have to switch the symlink in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins and restart the browser. HTH, Micah
