I think you should do what makes sense for your application.  The /var/db
stuff is not a hard fast rule and it doesn't work well for many
situations.  Also it's mostly system related DB's that live there.  It's
not only some java related ports that live mostly under /usr but also
things like postgres(at least used to).

IMO, as long as you're not flagrantly violating hier(7), do what is best
for your port.
