Firefox you have already installed is for native, and java(lang/sun-*)
is for linux. Therefore you need to install
firefox-linux(pkgsrc/www/firefox2-bin) to get java's plugin work.

Or There are 2 other ways left that are to install java for NetBSD or
to install "nspluginwrapper". You can read about them
on NetBSD mailing lists archives.
