I checked the code to make sure, and I was using NICEST for both MagFilter and MinFilter, so I changed it to your suggestion and it looked the same. I did notice that I have some control using the display card control panel and I changed the the display-card mipmap to "Best" and there was some improvement, but it still seems to me that the lower-res images come in too soon.
So, I guess there is some interaction with the display card in my case that caused the transition you point out in the second image. My original question was if there was any Java3D control over when the LOD's of the textures get swapped in and I think you already said no. Do I have any other options that anyone can think of? One possibility might be to generate a higher-res image and then use JAI to reduce the image to the size I want. I know that gets rid of the transitions (and looks the way I want) but it seems silly to do it that way.

I don't believe it does. On the second image on the webpage you can see the edge where the mipmaps change. With trilinear filtering on that would not be the case. The point in trilinear filtering (the MIN_FILTER being MULTI_LEVEL_LINEAR) is to filter between the adjacent mipmap levels in order to eliminate that edge.
