Note that in general this trust acnhor bit is a mess. There is mozilla-rootcerts in pkgsrc (not ports, a term for OtherBSD :-), and also mozilla-rootcerts-openssl. Read the DESCR for both of them, but the short story is that the -openssl puts the certs into the openssl config, i.e., configures them as trust anchors. However, many complicated systems don't use the system list of pre-trusted root certificates, but instead have their own scheme. firefox is like this. I have no idea about java, but I would not be surprised because java has a "we are the single consistent world and the OS is just here to run java" mentality. Given the Ubuntu package is called java-cet, I would guess that it does something to configure the jre.
