epsg-hsql (GoeTools 2.6) gives AXIS["Southing", SOUTH], AXIS["Westing", WEST]
epsk-wkt ( GoeTools 2.6) gives AXIS["x", EAST], AXIS["y", NORTH],
(I don't know why it differs)
where epsg-hsql is corresponding with what EPSG says.

Meaning of ESRI def. is AXIS["x", EAST], AXIS["y", NORTH] and uses special
code for that (ESRI:102067)
EPSG defines 2065 as AXIS["Southing", SOUTH], AXIS["Westing", WEST]
(99% of our data are in ESRI:102067)

GeoTools Krovak Kernel is (EAST,NORTH). With epsg-hsql
CRS.decode("EPSG:2065") we get expected results so that concatenated
transformation
turns it into AXIS["Southing", SOUTH], AXIS["Westing", WEST].

To comply with ESRI it might be good to be able to use also other set of
definitions together with EPSG - like PROJ4 is having epsg, esri and
esri.extra definition files.
Hope it still makes sense - I know that it is little bit crazy :-)
