The versions of files I was told to download are:

diablo-caffe-freebsd6-i386-1.5.0_07-b01.tar.bz2
jdk-1_5_0_14-fcs-bin-b03-jrl-05_oct_2007.jar
jdk-1_5_0_14-fcs-src-b03-jrl-05_oct_2007.jar
tzupdater-1.3.3-2007k.zip

I recently rebuilt my workstation and installed full KDE. The Java files 
were a requirement for one of the extras installed for KDE.

I then installed OpenOffice from the ports and it didn't once complain 
about anything.

This was all done with a current portsnap just before installing 
everything.
