I suspect it's related to the problem reported here:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2023-October/004814.html

It seems like when you checkout 5699269 your tree is moved to a point of 
quarterly 2023Q4.  I see it here as remotes/freebsd/2023Q4~7

Then those java commits are missing and it's not possible to satisfy 
dependencies.
