It's unchanged from 3.6, or at least, when I upgraded from 3.6 to 4
Java kept working.

This link explains it pretty well:

As always, the FreeBSD Handbook is what you should consult first which gives
a 3 command installation instructions to achieve your goal.

Is there any documentation about how to enable java support already
written or available.  If there isn't, does anyone have any hints?

Thanks.

Someplace between Firefox 3.5 and 4.0 I changed from diablo to openjdk.

That:
ln -s /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

was the missing step for me.

It was 3.6.  Check the archives for considerable gnashing of teeth as we 
tried to figure out how to get Java working again.



ln -s /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
was the missing step for me.


Free bonus: if you use Chromium, it works there, too:

ln -s /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so /usr/local/share/chromium/

I tried this, and discovered that - at least for SeaMonkey - I
had to go to the plugins manager and explicitly enable it before it
would show up in "about:plugins".
