Apparently not.

libproj-java doesn't have reverse dependencies are a very low popcon, so
dropping the package is an option. Now is not the time to do that though.

Since kfreebsd-* isn't a release architecture any more, this kind of
breakage is expected. hurd-i386 and x32 have similar issue for example.
Because maintainers don't care enough about the ports essential GIS
packages cannot be built. And apparently the porters don't care enough
either to assist the maintainers to get the packages fixed on those
architectures.

Kind Regards,
