OK, now I know why this happened: I think your problem was basically that you didn't use 3.3-ports-upgrade package. Sounds extreme at first, that it would actually erase all of /var/db/pkg, but what it should really do is erase /var/db/pkg/jdk-1.1.8. A few weeks ago, PKGNAME was exchanged for PORTNAME & PORTVERSION in all ports. Hence, the new fetched port had no PKGNAME, so when make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER wanted to rm /var/db/pkg/$PKGNAME/* it really erased /var/db/pkg//* ... You would probably have been luckier using a package, or updating the ports collection, which is really the way to go. It still supports 3.3, all you need is a small compatability package.
