Have you read tried reading the error?
dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.06-r2 (masked by: package.mask) -- it says that it's 
masked by package.mask and a few rows below that it says why it is masked.
If, however you do want to install it (I don't recommend it though) then you 
should put dev-java/sun-jdk in /et  c/portage/package.unmask

This seems very clear.

All ebuilds that could satisfy =sun-jdk-1.5* have been masked.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

This means that the package is masked (not available for installation
unless explicitly unmasked), for the reasons noted in the error.

If you want it nonetheless, read man emerge to find out how to unmask
the package so it will install.

I can assure you that if you unmask it, it will install (I'm using it,
but I don't compile much, if anything, against Java, so the issue is not
an issue for me).

HTH,
Holly
