Have you build the native JDK for FreeBSD? If not, you can build this from the ports tree. However, you will have to download the linux version of JDK 1.3 to do the build, however, once the native JDK is build and installed you can remove the linux jdk.
Tomcat, and most other J2EE enabled servers rely on the environment variable JAVA_HOME to be set. You can do this like export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/the/native/jdk Once this is done, Tomcat will work with the native jdk. If you are interested in working with JSP/Servlet/EJB related technologies, I would recommend looking at JBoss the fully complient J2EE open source application server.
