Oops, The handbook seems to be staled at that point.

Linux_devtools was removed. It was used with unsupported linux_base
port (which may be removed any time now). It is recommended to use
linux_dist ports for development.

You may consider searching mail archieves on Oracle installing. There
were some threads about it recently (though I don't recall exact
mailing list, but it may be emulation@, current@, stable@).

May be somebody at freebsd-emulation@ list may help you.
